Connections

Just read a post on Inside Higher Ed - Dangerous Curves - about students who staged a boycott of their class final...and all got As. At first I was intrigued by the outcome, but after reading the post, I was more interested in how the students organized themselves via social media. It really should come as no surprise, but since social media meant phone trees when I was a college student (yes, that makes me feel like an ancient human being), I am still in awe of the connections students have with one another today.

How can faculty help students use their connections to facilitate learning?
