  • This led me to the conclusion that few 21st century learning priorities are less about technical skills, tools, services, software or hardware but far more social, cultural and behavioural as they relate to states of being, thinking, feeling and acting with technology.

Education Week's Digital Directions: Tech Literacy Confusion

  • I think the solution is conceptually simple. (As always, the devil is in the details).

    You teach students the basic tools for thinking: Inquiry, analysis, 'what-if?', simulation, dialog, testing hypotheses, skepticism, analysis of motives, statistics, reasoning, the difference between primary sources, organization of information, presentation skills, rhetoric.

    About the only items that are newly available are simulation as a generally-available tool, and access to a wide variety of information: primary sources, secondary sources, opinions, rants, and uninformed twaddle.

    Teach them the tools to work with information. How to analyze, filter, question, test, and finally, communicate.
  • But teach them to think ABOUT online communities, to ANALYZE those communities, to EVALUATE the information, statements, claims and rhetoric, and to how to be active in SHAPING those communities, how to be a LEADER, how to be an ORGANIZER, how to be a TEAM MEMBER -- well, those skills are timeless and will translate well into any community.
