Every classroom has a few eager students who always participate and a less enthusiastic majority content to sit back. Often asking students to raise a hand when they know the answer exacerbates this problem because some students process the question more quickly and their eagerness to answer can undermine others' confidence. That's why Ann Young, a middle school math teacher, uses a thumbs up strategy that's less visible to give students more confidence participating.

In introductory or ice-breaker activities, there are four types of posts that are made by students/participants on discussion boards or community blogs. These four types I have drawn up after looking at a selection of ‘Welcome Sites’ for new students. These Welcome Sites are used for new students to make contact with each other and the Department before they arrive at University. In these sites there is a blog in which students are instructed to make a ‘hello’ post which will be replied to by second year student facilitators or staff. The Blog tool is best suited for Blackboard, but in Moodle you would use a Forum discussion board.

Sustained, high-quality student participation usually doesn’t happen on its own in the online learning environment. The instructor needs to model participation, create assignments that encourage it, and foster an environment that supports it. Here are some ways that I promote student participation in my online courses.

Surprising new data on what's supposed to be the future of higher ed
Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs, represent one of the most momentous—and contentious—changes to higher education in decades. But the debate over the free Internet classes has been a conspicuously fact-free zone. While techno-utopians tout MOOCs’ potential to topple barriers to college educations for disadvantaged people worldwide and skeptics warn of the downsides to automated instruction, neither side has been able to point to reliable data to support its claims.

In free online courses offered by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, teachers are increasingly the students. A study by the two universities has found that teachers are enrolling in their MOOCs in high numbers.

A lot of teachers decide to enroll in Moocs. Does this fact demonstrate an increasing interest to change the traditional way of doing lessons? Or maybe, it is just natural to think about teachers being more involved in this massive courses since this is a revolution in their own field: education.

4 Ways To Keep Students From Giving Up Before They Even Begin.
It happens a million times a day in schools: a teacher starts a lesson. The strong students seize on the new learning opportunity. Typical students figure out enough of what they have to do to succeed. But students who struggle in school may flare up, or shut down, at this critical juncture. These challenging students often react before they give themselves a chance.

I believe that true. It has happened to many times. If teachers taught like this in high school more students would want learn the lesson the teacher is trying to teach.

The rate of change is moving in such a speedy pace and sooner or later we will be dealing with totally new paradigms in education; ones that are deeply grounded in information economy and collective "wisdom of the mobs". These new changes are mainly driven by the digital culture we and our students have come to embrace, a culture that is predicated on participation, collaboration , distribution of knowledge sources, and co-creation of new resources and opportunities. But are we really doing what it takes to prepare our students for this paradigmatic change or what some scholars prefer to dub " Web 3.0 Learning " ?
