Organized Chaos: what the brain said
We spend a lot of time encouraging children to justify their thinking. I must
say, "How did you figure that out?" "How do you know?" "Why do you think
that?" 100 times a day. When we hear kids explain how they found their
answer we get a true picture of their abilities.

My 2002 book, Smart Mobs, was widely acclaimed as a prescient forecast of the always-on era. The weblog associated with the book has become one of the top 200 of the 8 million blogs tracked by Technorati, and won Utne Magazine's Independent Press Award in 2003. In 2005, I taught a course at Stanford University on A Literacy of Cooperation, part of a long-term investigation of cooperation and collective action that I have undertaken in partnership with the Institute for the Future. The Cooperation Commons is the site of my ongoing investigation of cooperation and collective action. I teach Participatory Media/Collective Action at UC Berkeley's School of Information, Digital Journalism at Stanford University, am a non-resident Fellow of the Annenberg School for Communication, and am a visiting Professor at the Institute of Creative Technologies, De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. \n\n

About Responsive Classroom
The Responsive Classroom is an approach to elementary
teaching that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth in a strong and safe school community. The goal is to enable optimal student learning. Created by classroom teachers and backed by evidence from independent research, the Responsive Classroom approach is based on the premise that children learn best when they have both academic
and social-emotional skills. The approach therefore consists of classroom and schoolwide practices for deliberately
helping children build academic and social-emotional
competencies.
