Understanding the Digital Generation - Discussion of Chapter 8; sharing of "added value" resources

Action Research Assignment - Discussion/Wordle
 * What is the story our students are telling? Were there particular questions that provided interesting data?
 * Are our students' brains really "wired" differently?
 * Reflect on (1) the inquiry process; (2) the assignment challenging our assumptions about our students; (3) the assignment providing an opportunity to collect, analyze and synthesize data focused on a topic related to our course.

This is a Wordle of the 4 blog posts available as of the afternoon of June 1. I'm not sure it really provides us visually with much. What do you think?
