=Ask a Student=
 * How do you learn best?
 * What resources do you find most useful?
 * What is the teacher's role in education?
 * How do you think students should demonstrate their learning?
 * What role does technology play in your learning?

This is what they told me:

 * They like to find out things for themselves and they know that's how they really learn something.
 * They have discovered that YouTube is a gold mine of how-to video on almost any topic.
 * They love getting comments on their work from people other than their teacher. It expands their thinking.
 * They want their teachers to ignite a passion for learning, to guide them along the path of learning. It's the teachers role to get students excited about their subject matter, to make them want to learn about it.
 * They want their teachers to point them in the direction of good resources.
 * They want their teachers to be there as a fall back when they don't understand a concept.
 * They see the value in collaborating to produce more creative solutions to problems.
 * They love problem solving.
 * They need time to think.
 * They see technology as a way to better organize their learning and to express themselves more creatively.
