Early uses of Bb
• Tool adoption weighted towards administrative functions
• Instructor disseminates content
• Students consume content
• One-way street: faculty to student
![Page 8: Blogs and Wikis in the Bb LS Barbara Knauff, Senior Instructional Technologist, Dartmouth College July 10, 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649efc5503460f94c0f51a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

So what’s the problem?
“… students do not always complete the readings, so sometimes come to class with no ideas and questions about new knowledge.”
![Page 9: Blogs and Wikis in the Bb LS Barbara Knauff, Senior Instructional Technologist, Dartmouth College July 10, 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649efc5503460f94c0f51a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

So what’s the problem?
“The issue with which I really struggle is that […] students seem to not want to think or take responsibility for their own learning.”
![Page 10: Blogs and Wikis in the Bb LS Barbara Knauff, Senior Instructional Technologist, Dartmouth College July 10, 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649efc5503460f94c0f51a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

So what’s the problem?
“Another problem that new technologies may address is the range of student competence […]”
![Page 11: Blogs and Wikis in the Bb LS Barbara Knauff, Senior Instructional Technologist, Dartmouth College July 10, 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649efc5503460f94c0f51a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
So what’s the problem?
“… students […] often seem unwilling to apply what they know to their classmates’ presentations.”
![Page 12: Blogs and Wikis in the Bb LS Barbara Knauff, Senior Instructional Technologist, Dartmouth College July 10, 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649efc5503460f94c0f51a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

So what’s the problem?
“… students […] want to be fed the ‘answers’ to the test questions.”
