Does anyone else out there find that it's hard to get students to "buy into" this new way of learning? I was sooooooo excited about bringing in the Wiki to our high school class, but they just don't really get it, or don't get into it... maybe like it's been with us adults, not really getting into this 21st Century Wetpaint wiki... as much as we could...
I think a conversation would make it much more interesting, is it happening anywhere? I could use some encouragement, to keep at it... to figure out how to make it an "active learning" thing!

Will the comment function work as a way for participants to share "best practices" or examples on this page?
