Thu, 01 May 2008 22:04:52 -0000

but the guy from California is nuts.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

wo-thirds of 700 students surveyed said their e-communication style sometimes bled into school assignments,

“I think in the future, capitalization will disappear,” said Professor Sterling, who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley. In fact, he said, when his teenage son asked what the presence of the capital letter added to what the period at the end of the sentence signified, he had no answer.

Truth: Can You Handle It? - washingtonpost.com

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:21:24 -0000

How do we tell the difference between information and truth.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

subjects used them as an opportunity to reinforce their own beliefs.

"Since people have more choice, they can choose to read the things that reflect what they already believe.

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.

truth can be elusive, but the fight for it can be rewarding.

Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education (Techlearning blog)

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:15:15 -0000

This is why literacy still matters more than anything else.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

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.

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.

it's in the hallway discussions after the lecture where JSB mentions that learning actually takes place

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.

If MySpace were a country, it would be the third most populous in the world.

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!).

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.
