good morning aoir people! i'm always a bit reluctant to post messages about teaching to this list. list members like barry wellman usually respond with a hissy fit, noting how we are the association of internet *researchers*, rather than *teachers* - as if the two aren't totally related. anyways, i'd like to share a post i wrote about a recent four-day field trip my students and i in digital literacy took to an organic farm in humboldt county. for the last few months, we've been focusing on logging on and being creative and collaborative. for this trip, however, we focused on logging off and being creative and collaborative. i tried to gather my reflections, as well as those of my seven students, and posted them here: http://silverinsf.blogspot.com/2008/04/davies-forum-at-stonelake-farm.html i am curious to learn whether other people on this list use exercises that encourage students to log off rather than log on. if so, what do you do and how do you students respond? please share your classroom exercises with the list! david silver http://silverinsf.blogspot.com
