Hey Aimee, We saw this in MLT, with Beth Strudgeon and it made me want to get all my fellow teachers at my school in a room and require them to watch it. If only they understood how different our students are than they were and we were as students. yes, I agree, it is tranformative.

Really allowing students to discover their understanding and collaborate their understanding in conversation with their peers. Socrates would be having the time of his life learning and encouraging learning among and with his students.
Marshall McLuhan is one of my favorite authors in the area of communications and communicating, who would both curious and cautious as demonstrated by the first experiment that "failed" and curious about the new simulation tool for predicting cultural behavior as was exhibited in the final class project of world domination.
