his post on homework

a piece:
Again, in 'real-life' does anyone actually get a thrill out of answering canned questions? Yet there are bookclubs everywhere. And why is that? It's because people love to talk about what they are reading. They don't love to be graded on how they answer questions, they just love to talk.
And in talking and discussing, 
they learn.
And in this social media rich environment, it's downright backwards to refrain from tapping in to that.


also just caught this on twitter: google for students
haven't read through much, but i'm guessing perusing that could be great use of time
