My 10th-grade Language Arts class created audio-visual commentary on VoiceThread in which they explored their ideas about their most effective learning environments. Not only did the students come to understand their own agency in the learning process, but they went way beyond this to value the challenges of teachers and other students as well as to see connections between their lives and the literary heroine Jane Eyre. How good is that?
Now I would love to have teachers -- and others -- continue the conversation. Let us know what you think about this issue that is so important to all of us.

Fantastic! I'm really impressed by the level of maturity and sophistication in these reflections.
I would love to hear more students discuss how projects like this - that rely on feedback from and dialogue with peers, classmates and teachers - also add meaning to and enrich learning environments.
