Rigor redifined

i have read an article called "Rigor Redefined" by Tony Wagner. What is the topic being discussed? The topic is the schooling students need. What is the main idea? main idea is that are we teaching them the right stuff? But are we teaching them to ask good questions/or think for themselves. I thought was is rigor? I researched on dictionary.com and rigor is strictness or dealing with things to the maximum.

New Learning

I have read a blog called A Whole New Learning Experience: Take Two by Karl Fisch. This blog is about freshmen last year at Arapahoe who read a book and discuessed it.The skype way by skyping from class and talking to eachother face to face on skype.Mr. Fisch is talking about how this years freshmen could skype in clas and discuss a wikified Reasearch Paper,and will have an opportunity to interact with Daniel Pink on skype.Mr Fisch said "If you’re really a glutton and want to know more about this, we have a video produced by Dana Levesque." My question about this is what does glutton mean. I thought this blog was interesting because we are know skyping in class and at home.A couple of years ago we were writting down our work on paper. It is amazing how technology is changing. I also thought that it was amazing that students at Arapahoe can skype in class and other people can skype into the conversation.Why would other people want to skype into class with students.Students are just talking about work they've done in class.I think that skyping in class will help everybody in class to parrticipate. The Skyping in class will help students participate.
