    "The Internet is your permanent record" The joke in classrooms used to be that your bad behavior would become part of your Permanent Record. There was no such thing in the old days, but there is now, and it's called the Internet.

7 Habits of Digital Citizenship.pdf (application/pdf Object) - 1 views

    This is an interesting document designed by M. Schlemok, administrator of an elementary school in Alberta, that resembles Stephen Covey's best-known book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. All digital citizens should familarize themselves with Covey's teachings, in particular, his series of habits. Covey advocates what he calls "The Character Ethic", that is aligning one's values with "universal and timeless principles". He see principles as "external natural laws" while "values are internal and subjective". He believes that values govern people's behaviour and principles ultimately determine the consequences.

    Copyright Law explained by The Little Mermaid and Buzz Lightyear (video) Using Disney characters to explain copyright law and related concepts such as public domain and fair use, Bucknell University professor Eric Faden produced this cartoon cut and paste masterpiece, A Fair(y) Use Tale. Poetic justice indeed, considering how Disney has tried slamming the copyright door shut behind itself, having built its own empire on the public domain fairy tales such as those used here.

Usable Knowledge: Video - Five Minds for the Future - 4 views

    With due respect to Howard Gardner, there is not necessarily anything new here. Gardner's notion of synthesis is not far removed from Bloom and his concept of creativity follows the continuum set out by Cohen, with what appears to be references to Kaufmann's Four Cs of creativity. Certainly, the notion of lifelong learning is part of the character of the twenty-first century learner, while the need and process for evaluating information is at the core of information literacy. But this concept of synthesising and the effective evaluation and application of knowledge, is central to the teaching work of information leaders in the twenty-first century.
