Teachers love control.
This isn't even close to a secret.
We believe that if we craft our lessons carefully, our students will "get" exactly what it is that we want them to gain.
So what happens when we open our classrooms up more freely to the world? What happens when we allow our kids access to information, free them to design a learning network for themselves, and work with them on developing a repertoire of forms of information representation which they can consider themselves to be experts in?
Chaos ensues.
