Bernie Dodge Transcript
http://anne.teachesme.com/2004/06/29/tapped-in-transcript-from-bernie-dodge-session/

Here’s the transcript from the Tapped In sesson with Bernie Dodge. The session was a follow-up to the one he did last week at NECC. At first, the discussion centered around WebQuests and Bernie pointed out that the real learning takes place away from the computer screen when kids argue with each other or explain their thoughts or teach each other what they read.
