This post continues the authors' development of their version of aggregeate-remix-repurpose-feed forward. They're slowly working their way toward that last step, as in this post they look at teaching others as a generative strategy. "During the teaching itself, they're stimulated to explain the subject matter, expand on it, and make connections between the subject matter and their prior knowledge, in such a way that their peer(s) understand(s) it." This, I find, is the experience of sharing generally, and is the same as reported by John Stuart Mill in his autobiography (it's not like this is a new thing). The post also looks at limitations - for example, sharing is productive only if you prepare the content yourself; simply parroting content isn't the same. And "this strategy is especially effective if the students who teach do so without reading from their own prepared notes."
