maureen greenbaum's List: CIS120 The Internet


    • Welcome to this PBWorks wiki, which will be used for students in Professor Maureen Greenbaum's Spring 2011 CIS120, The Internet class at Union County College
    • ubvert and Profit runs social media campaigns across a variety of social media sites, via our 25,000 users who earn money by viewing, voting, fanning, rating, or posting assigned tasks.
    • One  student made an astute comment that perhaps students (and their instructors to  varying degrees) at MCCC are not knowledgeable enough or   possess the skills to make effective and full use of technology for  teaching and learning.  One may conclude that although students in the Net  Generation at MCCC are "wired" when it comes to social networking (e.g., cell phones, Facebook, text messaging), they are underdeveloped when it comes to using  technology for learning and are largely unaware of the possibilities and potential  effectiveness. Their limited exposure is also connected with the extent that  instructors use technology in their courses for teaching and student learning. Instructors can benefit   from professional development in how to effectively design, develop, teach,   and facilitate online courses following best practices and sound pedagogy.
    • why school is so important. On a raw level, school can show students what it feels like to concentrate at different levels–what it feels like to write a paper, solve a difficult math puzzle, and synthesize various skills. That way, students develop a taste for cognitive satisfaction and learn to look for it throughout their lives.

       

    • , I don’t think that skills like memorization have decreased in importance. Sure, it may seem like we don’t need to commit facts to memory anymore and that the relevant skills today are navigation, retrieval, and analysis (how quickly you can find something, whether you can find it again later, and absorb what you need from it as quickly as possible). But memorization is still important; even in today’s world, where you have a universe of information at your fingertips, you have to remember how to navigate information, how to find it again, how to use tools to find it again as well as what you found in the past and how that might relate to the information rushing at you in the present. So in this sense, memorization is inextricably linked to navigation, retrieval, and analysis. The more you remember at any given point, the more space you have left in your “working memory” to perform complex cognitive processes.
