 * Article One:**
 * ** In what ways are students ( // and teachers // ) taking advantage of online tools to create, collaborate and learn? ** Skype, Edmodo, Google Apps, Wikispaces, Kidblogs, Animoto, Glogster, Prezi, Wordle, podcasts
 * **What opportunities are you providing students to develop a true feeling of "ownership" over their learning?** group and independent work, giving students more accountablility, giving students a voice by teaching them to solve problems, create rubrics, collaborate, communicate - teaching them to be risk takers, how to overcome failures
 * **In what way(s) have __//you//__ leveraged learner-ownership as an "early adopter"?** modeling being a self-directed learner, we have all had to go back to being the learner and going through the process, being a risk-taker, when creating a product to demonstrate your learning, including the students in the planning stages and decision making
 * **How are you working to foster a culture of ownership for //all// learners across your campus?** teachers in all grade levels are building the foundation by creating students who take ownership of their learning so that other grade levels can build on that ownership. As early adopters we are building a collaborative community to continue to foster that student ownership.


 * Article Two:**
 * ** To what degree have you considered student self-assessment and self-grading? ** Self-assessment of their behavior, self-monitoring of their comprehension; we haven't done any student self-grading
 * **What resources have you found or developed to support your students as self-assessors/graders?** Student generated checklists, rubrics, whiteboard - educreations, class dojo, CAFE - self tracking (reading), student goal sheets
 * **What role do formative assessment, teacher/peer feedback and classroom discussion play in your students //daily// learning?** it is imperative that students set goals and get feedback in order to take ownership of their learning - these things need to happen on a daily basis
