Student Involvement

This weekend marked my first big breakthrough. Even though one of my community partners dropped us 'cause they have too much work to do in this terribe economy, I was able to witness how involved SL students can be in their topic. I posted 7 words associated with hunger on our class blog. I also asked students to add and define any other words they found germane. When I checked the blog on Monday, 8 new words had appeared and been defined in addition to the 7 I posted. I have never had students create and finish work for themselves like this group has, at least not in undergrad studies. I am beginning to think this SL thing has some real advantages.
