What strategy is being employed?
Why does the strategy work?
I read Messaging Shakespeare.
In this experiment Inez Brown used test messaging, blog postings and email to help her students understand Richard III.
By using a technology that almost forces students to summarize, a practice which the article says great helps students retain information, she gave them a new way to learn that engaged them. Texting and blogging was also something that the students were already familiar with making the transition to that medium much easier. Also she was savy enough to make sure each group had a student with easy access to a cell phone.
