Great blog entry from Steve Greenlaw over at Pedablogy about a collaboration involving him, his Economics colleague, and his Instructional Technology Specialist, Jerry “Running With Scissors” Slezak. It’s a wonderful example of how teaching and learning technologies can make potential synergy into kinetic synergy. Take some nifty tools, simple and direct methods, and conceptual sophistication that focuses on teaching needs and goals first and technology second, and the outcomes are, well, mighty encouraging. Add to that the opportunity the blog affords for not only sharing the experience but also (and crucially) reflecting upon it, and as John Lennon once sang, “I feel fine.” I bet the students are pretty happy too.

Kudos to all.
