Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education (Techlearning blog)

This is why literacy still matters more than anything else.

more fromwww.techlearning.com
- I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.
- Because it is in the act of our becoming a creator that our relationship with content changes, and we become more engaged and more capable at the same time. In a world of overwhelming content, we must swim with the current or tide (enough with water analogies!).
- If MySpace were a country, it would be the third most populous in the world.
- Learn About Web 2.0. It's not going to go away, and it is pretty amazing. I know it may seem overwhelming, but it's worth taking the time to jump in somewhere and start the process.
- it's in the hallway discussions after the lecture where JSB mentions that learning actually takes place
- You may think that you don't have anything to teach the generation of students who seem so tech-savvy, but they really, really need you. For centuries we have had to teach students how to seek out information – now we have to teach them how to sort from an overabundance of information. We've spent the last ten years teaching students how to protect themselves from inappropriate content – now we have to teach them to create appropriate content. They may be "digital natives," but their knowledge is surface level, and they desperately need training in real thinking skills.
- We may be afraid to enter that world, but enter it we must, for they often swim in uncharted waters without the benefit of adult guidance.

- truth can be elusive, but the fight for it can be rewarding.
- If one quack repeats the same piece of information to you five times, it's nearly as effective as hearing the sound bite from five different reputable sources.
- "Since people have more choice, they can choose to read the things that reflect what they already believe.

The surprising narrative richness of Grand Theft Auto IV. - By Chris Baker - Slate Magazine

Narrative richness? Really?

more fromwww.slate.com
- What makes Grand Theft Auto IV so compelling is that, unlike so many video games, it made me reflect on all of the disturbing things I had done.
- blood, intense violence, partial nudity, strong language, strong sexual content, and use of drugs and alcohol.
- Grand Theft Auto IV i
- Grand Theft Auto is known less for its game play than for free-form mayhem.
