Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
A teacher gets help via Twitter to find a way to teach kindergarten students about farms. The problem, of course, is that kindergarten students aren't going to be searching the web, doing reading on the subject, or any of the usual online learning activities. The solution? "Voicethread was the answer! It would give us the ability to "converse" asynchronously, using text, audio and video. Voicethread's navigation is dead simple; I know my kindergarten students can easily make their way through material presented that way" (Odd the way he links to VoiceThread five times - almost like a product placement).
