How could you adapt or change one of your current class/course policies to reflect a moving mindset?

I'm starting this blog for my class "Introduction to Blended and Online Teaching". This class through Five-Star Academy. For this class I need to keep a blog, answering questions for my class.

Today's question is: "How could you adapt or change one of your current class/course policies to reflect a moving mindset? Is this a change you are willing to make? Why or Why not?"

Technology is awesome. I don't know how many times I have sat at my house, on my laptop, and see something on tv that makes me wonder. With the millions of sources just sitting there on my couch with me, I can have all of my questions answered just by doing a little digging. I can recall a time I was watching an episode of Bob's Burgers on Netflix, and Louise was doing a science fair project on Thomas Edison and Topsy the elephant. As I was watching this episode, I was thinking to myself, "Was this real? Did it really happen?" So I started googling. I found out more information about Topsy, and then expanded my search to other elephants that received punishment for killing people. After learning about the moving mindset in module two, I thought to myself, "How can I get my students to expand their knowledge like I did with Topsy?"

I've been trying to figure out how to get students to expand their knowledge about agriculture, and solve problems. I think what I am going to do is have students blog about what they learn about. I want to ask a "pre-lesson" question, where students maybe just list things, or think about a time they did something related to the topic we are about to go over. Then we will go on with the lesson as planned, and then they must continue their blog with their thoughts on the material and a question for them to expand on. I hope this would make students want to read more on a subject, or look up YouTube videos on it.
