We are talking about a class you have talked about as experimental and something huge is coming out of it. I think it is pretty exciting to say the least.Joe Weissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6033919418961132722.post-52987313084499571112012-04-22T16:58:31.050-05:002012-04-22T16:58:31.050-05:00I find it very cool, for lack of a better word, th...I find it very cool, for lack of a better word, that a successful lesson conducted in our classroom can become viral. Five or ten years ago, professors and students in other states or at other universities would have only learned of such a lesson through friends in the class or at some sort of conference. Now that methods can be shared so easily on the internet, learning is likely to be more successful. I strongly believe that two heads are better than one, and social media allowing ideas to be spread across the globe opens many doors for education. I think more classes, professors, and students, could benefit from lessons and ideas posted on social media sites; it simply means people now have more access to knowledge and different types of education.Lexi Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585919189888258532noreply@blogger.com
