Robin and Jeannette's final project for the EDER 679.25 Educational Technology course is posted on our joint wiki at URL: http://eder67925finaljackbert.wikispaces.com/
The challenge originally given was to create a digital story and share the resulting artifact in an online setting together with a supporting explanation and reflection. We were able to choose any topic that pertained to the reasons we had for choosing this course as part of our ongoing studies. The final title for our digital project is Digital Content and Inquiry : A Jackbert Production. We had much fun and challenges during the planning and construction of our movie and hope you enjoy the results of our collaboration! Would love some feedback

I have included the video below to emphasize the idea that schools are places of collaborative-individual learning and that by embracing the potential of the continually emerging technologies both online and offline; both in the real and virtual; both the physical and the imaginative; we offer the best of educational landscapes for constructing and creating knowledge. In addition we must be willing and open to change and innovation , which means that, as Diane Laufenberg states in this presentation, "if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to get the information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracing failure, we're missing the mark." I would add that these same sentiments apply to teachers as much as to their own students and classrooms as we have tried to exemplify in the production and rationale for our digital artifact.
