"Thinking differently about information is
going to be crucial as Web 2.0 takes off,
for both teachers and learners…In the era
of networking and emergent information
systems, a whole new range of skills is
necessary in our academic culture; the
skills required to create online
frameworks for collaborative, learner-led
work." – Hargittai et al, 2010

15. "What our students understand (and that we,
as teachers, seem blind to) is that the very
nature of information has changed. It's
changed in what it looks like, what we look
at to view it, where we find it, what we can
do with it, and how we communicate it. We
live in a brand new, and dynamically rich
information environment, and if we are going
to reach our students in a way that is
relevant to their world and their future (and
ours), then we must teach them from this
new information environment." -David
Warlick

are blurring the boundaries between
creative production and
consumption, through practices such

purposing, re-tweeting, media
meshing. Education needs to
respond by focusing on creative
collaboration.” – Beetham et al,
