"The course unit guide focuses on a series of “big questions” students are prompted to ask rather than specific answers they are expected to learn. Social media — blogs, Twitter, video, Storify, a Google+ community — are enlisted for specific purposes of inquiry, reflection, metacognition, mindful personal participation in the digital commons, collaboration and creative problem solving.
