I think Mr. Schaffhauser is on the right track. Any kind of learning that gets kids excited
and engaged will increase skills much more than learning that is done
reluctantly and under pressure.
Certainly having kids taking part in online games and stories is
wonderful.
I would argue that classrooms should also be set up so that
students can get excited and engaged with what they are doing. I let my high school English students choose
most of their own reading, and their own writing assignments. Consequently, I got wonderful work from the
majority of my kids.
Whether kids are online or offline, they should be given the
opportunity to have a real say in their own learning.
