  • Zinch, which is free for students, is designed like a social networking tool.
  • lines are blurring between social networking tools and digital portfolios.
  • Digital portfolios provide students a way to track what they’ve learned over time, compile their grades and scores and publish their completed projects. And they provide a sense of a student’s identity, one behind the transcript, when submitting their applications.

  • Parents can involve their kids, even at a very young age, to help them not only pick their favorite works but also to assess and reflect on their learning. The reflection component, much more than the presentation element of digital portfolios, is where Barrett believes they reach their full power.

  • it is incumbent on humanities instructors to teach undergraduates how to read websites and digital discovery tools with the same critical vigilance with which they are taught to read textual arguments
  • research has shown that most members of the “born digital” generation do not know how those tools work
  • the point is to spur students to “think critically and differently” about digital gateways and to “encourage new forms of close reading, knowledge production and interpretation” in the context of the modern information landscape

  • Literacy in the 21st century is worlds away from past processes of defining and interpreting information. The new age of digital technology is redefining the ways we find, evaluate and process concepts. Information literacy—how we identify, locate, and evaluate information—is a crucial skill in all disciplines and levels of education.

      the importance of librarians in supporting us in developing information literacy within our classrooms
  • The starting point is the assertion that digital literacy is more extensive then effective use of technologies.
  • Librarians have potentially numerous roles to play in this environment, but one of their key roles is in supporting and advising staff and students how to navigate, select and use digital tools, content and services to achieve a particular goal.

  • One challenge we face is ensuring that our own staff have the capabilities to offer expertise in the digital environment and that the expertise is not limited to one or two 'experts'.

  • There’s been a lot of buzz in the last few years about what it means to be literate in the 21st century. To Resnick, teaching kids to program was like teaching children of another generation how to write.

      "If children are interested, then education happens." Children from this generation are digital natives no matter where they are from and from what social class. Education technology is inevitable. All educators should embrace the use of technology in the classroom.

      Someday hope to work with SMART boards!
  • We are now in 2012, and the 21st Century is totally upon us. The 20th Century, to be honest, is not even in the rear view mirror anymore. Blogging, flipped classrooms, iPads, mobile learning- these topics dominate the airwaves of education news and technology blogs.  With the announcement of the iBooks textbook initiative by Apple, we are entering a true era of Minority Report-style media consumption.
  • Taking the time to master these tools is not something that can be done in a 30 minute prep session before school. Mastering the education tools of this century takes a commitment to breaking down the proverbial walls of what a teacher used to be. Mastering these new teacher processes takes letting go of the idea that your day will end when you leave the brick and mortar.
