Blogs I responded to were
Bob Streff @ http://bobstreff.blogspot.com/
His blog offered a link to a very insightful blog that offered up ideas on how to create collaborative groups and activities using wikis. He also presented an interesting case as a way to safeguard and deter students from not participating in collaborative excercises.
Dave Harm @ http://daveharms.wordpress.com/
The most thought provoking line from his blog was : The expectation is that every student will participate in the collaboration. Working alone should not be an option.
Jami, I know this quote is taken from Bob, but I am curious to know why you find it "thought provoking." Distance education has been a success for over 100 years and it was an individual pursuit for almost all of that time. Why should this not be an option at this time?
