I was one of those nodding when you did hit the nail on the head. These web2 technologies allow us easier ways of getting back to having students become the teachers. Thanks for a positively inspiring session. It has me rejuvinated to get back in the trenches with the kids. -Greg Hi Will,

Part of this comes from my Montessori background where peer teaching is, indeed, used as a form of assessment. Even children as young as five have the task of "giving lessons" to their three- and four-year-old peers as their teachers observe and make note of their mastery. I also broach a similar topic when I talk about learning ecologies using multimedia. What was once a movie turned in as a final assessment project from one student becomes an advance organizer (Marzano, 1998) for the next group of learners. It reflects our work as adults....with what I learn, I create. With what I create, I teach and use. What better method of facilitating a community of learners? Thanks for your post!
