The bottom line is – what is the future for Web 2.0 / new media assignments in content-heavy areas like science?

What is possible pedagogically? What is possible organisationally? What is possible in terms of publishing student work?

There is so many resources we could be using – why aren’t we using them?

Why are Science educators so conservative in their teaching?

Why aren’t we using the inverted curriculum approach, or the 10 Big Questions, or setting meaningful tasks for our students to undertake?
