In Who Owns the Learning?, Alan November uses his Digital Learning Farm model to show teachers how technology allows students to take ownership of their learning, create their own learning tools, and participate in work that has meaning to them and others. In his model, every student is a teacher and a global publisher.

“There is nothing like a great question to send you on a rich and meaningful quest for learning. ‘Who owns the learning?’ is one of those great questions. When I first allowed myself to ask the question, and really sit with it for a while, I soon found myself questioning everything in my teaching practice. Fortunately, November offers inspiring stories along with practical advice to help us on the journey forward, while leaving enough space to make each of our journeys our very own.”

—Michael Wesch, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas
