Younger students need to see their teachers engaging experts in synchronous or
asynchronous online conversations about content, and they need to begin to
practice intelligently and appropriately sharing work with global audiences.
Middle school students should be engaged in the process of cooperating and
collaborating with others outside the classroom around their shared passions,
just as they have seen their teachers do. And older students should be engaging
in the hard work of what Shirky (2008) calls "collective action," sharing
responsibility and outcomes in doing real work for real purposes for real
audiences online.
