You say: "I imagine that a lot of useful educational content on the internet will eventually be written by kids using social software applications, like we are doing. But they have to be shown how to do that." I think that this short paragraph is the key thought I need to take with me as I go to listen to Jimmy Wales on Monday. Indeed it is the big shift as far as student produced content goes - being part of a global contribution to digital texts written for student peers. Thanks, Doug.
