Principles for a New Media Literacy

A Networked Life – Ton Zijlstra on Social Networking
Full quote from Ton Zijlstra on information overload, in the original interview about the value of social media and networking
-
Information overload does not exist. Failing information strategies do exist. We were brought up with information strategies based on scarcity. We live in times of information abundance.
Dave’s Whiteboard » Blog Archive » Learning strategy: follow disgruntle
An interesting idea for a learning strategy--we read so much online from people who are like us and agree with us that when you read something that makes you disgruntled, it may be a cue to dig deeper. Includes a good quote from Ton Zijlstra (via Harold Jarche) about information overload.

A little while ago, Harold Jarche sent this quotation: “”Information overload does not exist. Failing information strategies do exist. ”

Sensory Integration | Brain Rules |
Several people have mentioned John Medina's book Brain Rules. A lot of this sounds common sense, but check the footnotes on slides 2 & 3 for his rule "Sensory Integration: Stimulate more of the senses." He has a nice chart about how much more we remember for passive/active learning with multiple senses stimulated. He cites Dale's cone of experience, but he has numbers for each level, so we know he's, shall we say, stretching the research a bit.

2¢ Worth » Practicing the Habits of Literacy
-
Comparing student research using prepacked information sources (like textbooks and databases) with broader research sources where students have to evaluate their sources. Maybe we should be teaching students to critically evaluate their textbooks too though; prepacked sources aren't automatically right.

But if students are asked to research on a liberally open and reasonably safe Internet, to evaluate and validate what they learn, to apply it to other findings, sift and select and then express what they’ve learned, to be responsible for what they learn, then you’re integrating something into the lesson that will not change — Literacy Habits. Even literacy skills will change. But the habits won’t.
It’s not just students who have trouble evaluating sources… : UberNoggin: Big Brains - Big Ideas
-
A humorous take on why people need to evaluate sources and research with a skeptical eye. Sarah Robbins looks at some business pseudo-research that is reported as fact by journalists. She provides a summary of her own "pseudo-research" experiment as well.

Will at Work Learning: People remember 10%, 20%...Oh Really?
-
Will Thalheimer tracks down some "research" that has been cited unquestioningly by many learning professionals but isn't really what it seems to be. It's based on Dale's Cone of Experience, but the numbers aren't part of Dale's original graphic and don't seem to be based on any actual evidence. This reminds me of the creeping fox terrier clone; it's why information literacy is so important.
