Who Owns the Learning?: Preparing Students for Success in the Digital Age
There is nothing like a great question to send you on a rich and meaningful quest for learning. A great question forces us to challenge our most taken for granted beliefs and threatens to uproot our most deeply rooted habits.Who owns the learning?is one of those great questions. When I first allowed myself to ask the question, and really sit with it for a while, I soon found myself questioning everything in my teaching practice. Fortunately, November offers inspiring stories along with practical advice to help us on the journey forward, while leaving enough space to make each of our journeys our very own. --Michael Wesch, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KansasFantastic!
