Hi Ryan,I was just trying to figure out which website I wanted to discuss as a part of the "learning/teaching styles" segment. At first, I thought this site on urban development might be a great exampel for visual learning and collaboration, since the main focus is displaying the materials created from each student group.It's one of the examples from the list from Day 1 under "Teaching/Learning Activities: What do you want to use technology for?" It's under Collaborative learning,Visions for a Sustainable City.
As I looked at the site, it seems to be a better candidate for a thought experiment in which we suggest how it might be improved by using the various other technical elements we're going to talk about during the workshop. For example, we get to see the finished produce (drawings, mostly) of each of the groups in the class. But it's mostly pictures. Imagine a blog in which we could see the thoughts developing–students hashing out the focus of each poster. Or if there were a collaborative group document so we could see who contributed what idea. This site seems more exciting for what this 1995 site could be more than ten years later. What do you think?
