For sure! Who among us has not seen students huddled together over a digital device, where one of them is showing the others how s/he accomplished some spectacular Snapchat result?

Ah, yes, where is Zeega hiding, tellio?

Is this really a word???

I would argue that today's youth are already using social media for exactly this purpose. In many instances within their intimate social groups, to play pranks on each other, etc. Also to make (often unflattering) statements about the adults in their lives.

The "something different" is key. In Walter Isaacson's book The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution, he argues that many innovations are merely tweaks of work done by others, and that most innovations are not the work of one person, but several working together who each have different skills/strengths.

All characteristics of inquiry/project-based methodologies.

I'm interpreting this to mean they have a variety of (unconnected) courses, plus their outside lives. Have there been any discussions within the university about doing inter/multi-disciplinary courses, to create connections?

I haven't used ThingLink's video annotation, so thanks for inspiring me to try it. Do you have a sense for how many of the students: 1) watched the video; 2) clicked on the blue tags?

I like that you are using this article to launch the topic, provide low- (no-?) stakes practice, and to invite the students into the conversation.
