What if... classroom as network?


What if we were to redesign lessons so that the classroom reflects the networked reality of the world?

What if student learning were a function of collaboration and creation with peers, rather than compliance and cooperation with adults?

We wish everyone a belated Happy Hannukah, Merry Christmas, and Happy first day of Kwanzaa.

Did you know that each day of Kwanzaa is devoted to a core principle of African heritage? Today, Day 1, is Umoja, or Unity. H/T to my friend and fellow educator Clyde Cole for teaching me this many years ago.

Each Wednesday we share a "what if" scenario. These are not suggestions as much as provocations.

If you have a "what if" scenario you would like to share, just send an email (and indicate whether you would like it attributed it to you).
