    I love it! As students brainstorm ideas about a concept this will be motivating and take their learning to new levels. Thank you very much for taking the time to create it. I also enjoyed reading about who you are and your family.

    "Lawrence Lessig (now at Harvard) has another thoughtful presentation regarding copyright that he gave at EDUCAUSE 2009. He makes a compelling case about how "things have changed" but that our copyright laws have not kept up with those changes. In the past, "copyright had a tiny role."

    Sacha Chua has once again created an awesome slide presentation. In this presentation, A Teacher's Guide to Web 2.0 at School, Sacha does a great job of addressing the "yeah buts" and "what if" opposition statements that some administrators and teachers make in regards to using Web 2.o in schools.

Clive Thompson on the New Literacy - 3 views

  • kids today can't write—and technology is to blame.
  • "I think we're in the midst of a literacy revolution the likes of which we
    haven't seen since Greek civilization," she says. For Lunsford, technology isn't
    killing our ability to write. It's reviving it—and pushing our literacy in bold
    new directions
  • young people today write far more than any generation before them
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Before the Internet came along, most Americans never wrote anything, ever, that
    wasn't a school assignment
  • Lunsford's team found that the students were remarkably adept at what
    rhetoricians call kairos—assessing their audience and adapting their
    tone and technique to best get their point across.
  • (something virtually no one in my generation did) gives them a different sense
    of what constitutes good
  • students today almost always write for an audience
  • (something virtually no one in my
    generation did) gives them a different sense

    of what
    constitutes good
  • The fact that students today almost always write for an audience (something virtually no one in my generation did) gives them a different sense of what constitutes good writing. In interviews, they defined good prose as something that had an effect on the world. For them, writing is about persuading and organizing and debating, even if it's over something as quotidian as what movie to go see. The Stanford students were almost always less enthusiastic about their in-class writing because it had no audience but the professor: It didn't serve any purpose other than to get them a grade.

      Quite so. This is one reason I have students blog where practicable.
  • When Lunsford examined the work of first-year students, she didn't find a single example of texting speak in an academic paper.

      Stanford 1st year students - check the applicant profile - http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/basics/selection/profile.html

      These are among the top tiered students in the country.
  • The brevity of texting and status updating teaches young people to deploy haiku-like concision.
    • Ed Webb
       
      Twitter to haiku,
      Not such a leap, after all:
      Hone your brevity
  • know is that knowing who you're writing for and why you're writing might be the
    most crucial factor of all.
