<p>Agreed.&nbsp; I offer my students a chance to respond in their journals about what they learned in class as their last assignment; I am always gratified - and often surprised at how much they share about what they have learned!&nbsp; This means much more to me than "popularity contest" types of responses.&nbsp; I want to keep learning about what works&nbsp;for my students and what students actually learn&nbsp;in my classroom.</p>
