Even when they’re out sick, students work on their blogs. - Carol Barsotti I’ve got 6th graders coming in during their lunch and after school to add articles to their blog and respond to their classmates’ articles. - Al Gonzalez My students are floored when, as they say, “ Some random person from Texas commented on my blog.” - Brian McLaughlin In 15 years of teaching, I have never seen anything come even CLOSE to motivating students to write - like blogging does. - Mark Ahlness

While I was still teaching history, my grandparents moved from the house they'd lived in for more than 50 years. Because I was the only teacher in the family, they gave me all of their (ancient) National Geographic Magazines.I am ashamed to admit that as I leafed through those magazines, I had scissors in my hands. I cut those things to pieces -- because I wanted to bring those pictures, maps, and diagrams into my classroom, put them on the wall, and give my learners a chance to learn from them. You see, I taught in an information-scarce learning environment. The methods I used in the classroom were based on information scarcity. The pedagogies I learned in university were based on information scarcity.Today, Flickr, the social photo album site, is receiving more than three million new photos every day. We are now teaching in information-abundant learning environments.One of the most interesting questions in the education field today is, &quot;What are the pedagogies of information-abundant learning environments.

If we can crack the code of their information experience, then perhaps we can crack it.
Content is becoming increasingly responsive to our needs. The phone book (left) and digital Sports Illustrated (right) are examples. Each hints at possibilities of fully interactive learning resources -- what follows the textbook as we know it... This relationship becomes even more pronounced when the reader is empowered to create the content and its behavior.
But, when the author or programmers work is published and its users can &quot;respond&quot; back, the relationship between author and reader return -- except that it is...Two way andHighly instructive Scratch is a programming language that enables children to write video games and other applications. The process involves math and it immediately assesses, because if there is a mistake, then it doesn't &quot;work.&quot;
We've known the power of responsiveness for a long time. We've long tried to capture the immediate gratification of many video games to improve achievement.

Learning happens when we push off of something or pull toward it. We need a hard place to test our knowledge and ideas against. In the past it was the textbook, teacher, technology, and the bell schedule. [twitter]It takes traction to do anything. It takes traction to learn![/twitter]

Students love to write in their blogs, not because of instant gratification, but because of deferred response that is both dependable and relevant. They know that someone is going to &quot;read&quot; their writing, not just &quot;measure&quot; it. Even when they’re out sick, students work on their blogs. - Carol Barsotti I’ve got 6th graders coming in during their lunch and after school to add articles to their blog and respond to their classmates’ articles. - Al Gonzalez My students are floored when, as they say, “ Some random person from Texas commented on my blog.” - Brian McLaughlin In 15 years of teaching, I have never seen anything come even CLOSE to motivating students to write - like blogging does. - Mark Alness [twitter]The responsiveness in blogging is not immediate. It is relevant.[/twitter]

The objective of the work was learning about prairie life in 19th century Alberta by producing graphic illustrations of how they traveled.The nature of the work was conversation/collaboration. Conversation and collaboration are not easy, and the deep and productive collaborations necessary in a technology-rich, information-driven, and increasingly global environment is especially hard.The students' collaboration was handicapped by asking them to communicate through classroom walls, school campuses, and through age differences. The students were challenged to be resourceful. [twitter]You can see all of the animations here - http://fortedmonton.jasperplace.ca/ [/twitter]

This should not be, in any way, construed as an indictment of rubric-style assessment. However, we should be cautious, in our use of all forms of assessment, that we do not damage learning for the sake of assessing teaching .
What kind of barriersmight I plant for my studentsto question themselves around? How am I paying attention to those questions, at the same time that I am asking...?
One place to find traction points for today's learners might be video games. What do they gain by playing well?How wealthy is this fellow? Li Hua makes a living playing computer games. Working from a cramped office in the heart of Changsha, China, he slays dragons and loots virtual gold in 10-hour shifts. Next to him, rows of other young workers do the same.
