Many things started to happen that would become major buiding blocks for CyberEnglish. First, division of labor and breaking from the "everyone works at same pace and on same project industrial style of education" as I had the students in two groups working on two different tasks. Second was the beginning of digitizing everything. Thirdly was the beginnings of peer review as students began viewing other student's work as it was being devleoped rather than upon completion. Finally, we were publishing the students' work.
This is a concise way to look at the beginnings of the basic concepts. It is essentially constructivist in viewpoint. As a longtime NWP fellow (as well as a graduate in English Ed at AU), I am essentially a constuctivist type of guy. This folds in neatly with my view of education and what it should be.
