  • In this new context, by comparison, anybody who writes anything, whether it’s an individual or a team, is now exposed in the commons. Everybody is required to review three deliverables other than their own and rank and review them. That’s a little foreign, and there’s a fair amount of pushback on that. People say, “What do you mean, other people can see my stuff?” And I say, “Well, that’s how peer learning works.”
  • The motive in this kind of social context is altruism. It’s to help others. By contrast, the motive in a business context is all about profit.

  • Basically, the revelation that I had was — I like right answers.  I really like tidy right answers.  I usually don’t ask learners questions that I don’t have a “right” answer or answers for. Even when the task is “authentic” and “embedded in context” I want there to be a right answer.  And this is wrong.

     

    Because what Dan Myer is teaching his students is how to approach problems that don’t have right answers, which is the way that most of the problems in the real world work.  His students are learning to be okay with that, and how to ask good questions, and how approach those problems.
