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.

A project that seems worthy of much support. Way to go, Hugh.

save the kudos for after the proj is off the ground! my objective is to just get some of this stuff rolling tho so that I can sit back and do the stuff i’m supposed to be doing (!), rather than spending all my time on volunteer projects.
… anyway, assuming it gets off the ground, we’ll provide all info open source of course, to give the resources to help anyone start up similar projects, anywhere in the world. actually one of the partners is developing an integrated media production & publishing tool (text, audio, video), all to be f/oss so could be very very cool (though I guess very challenging).
