 Part of what makes blended environments productive and lends itself to my pedagogy is that they help to transform that sort of hierarchical relationship between student and teacher. I try to create spaces where this is facilitated, but where students are giving feedback on one another's work, leaving posts and comments, sharing each other's work, finding hashtags, and finding different ways to disseminate that work really makes the blogs, the papers, about a conversation and not just about me supplying a grade for it. And I think getting students to know that they can create work that makes an impact beyond those very limited confines of the classroom or the workshop really gets them to think more critically about the impact that they can have and that they're not just writing to get through the course, but these can be places to express their politics, their aesthetics, or to spin out ideas.
