Here’s an example to think about. Paranoia, a role playing game, was recently updated with the help of a load of its fans who contributed ideas and content by means of a wiki. This makes me wonder if some creative product (game, story, poem) could be collaboratively written in a K-12 environment using the same technique. Hmm.
From Meridian, this article by Johnny Walters describes an attempt to combine technology, reader response, and Socratic seminars. He used Zoomerang to get insights into the attitudes of his kids, and online discussion boards to complement the real-time face-to-face equivalent. It’s a great example of a teacher using technology thoughtfully and creatively. Nice article!
