Lucky Kids of Today

Boy, do I envy kids today growing up with the net… especially those who are fortunate enough to have teachers like these:

Will Richardson: The Read/Write Web in the Classroom

Tomorrow I meet with the Social Studies supervisor to discuss the blog articulation site. Thursday, it’s wikis in media lit. Who knows what next week will bring…
and

Bud Hunt: Bud the Teacher

I see once again why publishing my students work has so much potential for motivating them.
and

Scott Moore: Moore Stuff

I am going to have students maintain their own blog throughout the semester. This will not be an add-on to the course; it will be the vehicle in which students learn about other students, communicate their thoughts to their peers and their professor, write their reflections about the course. It will also be the means by which the professor communicates to the class information about assignments, lectures, and announcements.

to name but a few.

Once you take notice, it’s quite amazing how many one sees here in Düsseldorf (of all places) too.
