In the most recent issue of EDUCAUSE Review, Jeff McCLurken’s Digital History course has been featured as an example of “Developing 21st-Century Literacies among Students and Faculty.” The course is an excellent example of framing an experience wherein the students are asked to imagine their approach and then examine and choose their own tools based upon the nature of their projects. A methodology that challenges the idea of limiting the projects by any one pre-determined tool or approach. It’s truly an EDUPUNK approach that included all of DTLT, not simply one-tool-fits-all—against my WPMU advice, mind you— and the resulting projects exemplify this beautifully, using tools as diverse as Omeka, Simile Exhibit and Timeline, Google Docs, and, of course, WordPress. Anyway, go read Jeff’s portion of the article here.
