27. We have to ask ourselves… Who are our teachers ? How are we building our own learning networks ? How are we modeling our learning for our students? Why the Read-Write Web is Changing Everything ~ Will Richardson
37. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THE 3 C’S? They get bored if not challenged properly, but when challenged, they excel in creative and innovative ways. They learn by doing, not by reading the instruction manual or listening to lectures. ~The Net-Generation (McNeely, 2005)
Why do we have to talk about doing things differently in schools?1. Global Competition: メ D id You know モ video on youtube. The top 25% of students in China outnumber the entire population of the US.2. Global Interdependence ミ global warming, internet security, where are those things stored? A virus will travel the world 6x before it burns itself out. This is what kids have to think about.3. Information is ubiquitous ミ if I can google the answers to the test is that cheating or is that resourceful? {What do YOU think???} Do we have to completely rethink the assessment systems?4. Workplace Innovation ミ the workplace has completely changed with the advent of the Internet. What are companies looking for in the next 5 years that are not coming out of schools today? ミ - >TOP two things they are looking for are: * Creativity and Innovation ミ that has to be our niche if we wantto compet
Currently, teachers' are concerned about the ease with which students can plagiarize Instead of trying to outfox this cheating, we need to be giving entirely different kinds of assignments...ones that absolutely demand that students design and create far more complex and intriguing performances of their understanding."
Media literacies encompass multiple literacies, including digital, textual and technological. Students must become active and critical thinkers about media, (including new media such as blogs, websites, social networking sites, Instant Messaging, etc.). Students must learn to analyze and evaluate media for accuracy, completeness and appropriateness. Students must be taught how to identify the author, purpose of, points of view contained in, and techniques used to create various media products. Students need to be engaged in discussions about what media they are consuming and why.
Students are involved researching important issues, problems and decisions with the goal of coming up with action plans or specific work products and documents that mirror the real work done in agencies.
Ethical literacy awakens students to ethical questions. Once literate, they cannot ignore these issues and dimensions. They cannot assume the stance of the three monkeys, as in "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” Several groups have posed ethics as an important aspect of learning during this century, but the focus is more on ethical behavior than on ethical literacy - including AASL and ISTE.
