Alex, appreciated the information in the INFOLITERACY piece; as a parent concerned about the amount of time kids spend online--chatting, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter--then add in texting and television--it was good to get new ideas on needed conversations. Keep up the good work!

Team learning or collaborative skills are a necessity in today's economy. Knowing how to use the normal diversity - of background and abilities - to the benefit of the team will benefit anyone preparing for a career.  Employers want people who can productively collaborate in a team; not just be a member of a team. Are you teaching students how to think critically and solve problems collaboratively, or do your students sit in rows and listen; just as your great-grandparents did?
