  Great insight into reading and researching students reading - "These electronic annotations make the implicit explicit and are a pedagogically powerful tool I would ordinarily have neither the time nor resources to employ. They help me diagnose reading strengths and weaknesses around a given text and decide where to place the focus of discussion and assignments. What do they understand and what don’t they? Where does the text make sense and where doesn’t it? Electronic annotation also presents an integrated tool that strengthens students’ critical reading. It forces them to slow down and become metacognitively aware of their reading in real time." via Stephen Downes

  A possible activity for ELP students. Note that Gdocs that are shared with collaborators can also be used in this way for annotation, but can be done as a group instead of just individuals.

  • As Frank Smith reminds us, “Ignorance is not so much not knowing an answer as not knowing that there is a question, not being able to think when thinking is required. Ignorance is a blind dependence that someone else will be able to tell you what to do.”⁵
