  • Growing up with the internet, it is argued, has transformed their approach to education, work and politics

      But has the education system changed its approach? There are different jobs than there were 20 years ago which is a partial reflection of technology but not sure how are systems have changed or accomodated the changes
  • Anecdotes like this are used to back calls for education systems to be transformed in order to cater to these computer-savvy students, who differ fundamentally from earlier generations of students: professors should move their class discussions to Facebook, for example, where digital natives feel more comfortable

      Is this an example of 21st century literacy? I've heard this term used often but I'm still looking for a good definition of it.
  • Only a small fraction of students may count as true digital natives, in other words. The rest are no better or worse at using technology than the rest of the population.

      This must mean that 21st century literacy must be taught.

news tools howard_rheingold rheingold journalism facts factcheck bullshit

shared by Ed Webb on 15 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Students in Howard Rheingold’s journalism class at Stanford recently teamed up with NewsTrust, a nonprofit Web site that enables people to review and rate news articles for their level of quality, in a search for lousy journalism.
  • the News Hunt is a way of getting young journalists to critically examine the work of professionals. For Rheingold, an influential writer and thinker about the online world and the man credited with coining the phrase “virtual community,” it’s all about teaching them “crap detection.”
  • last year Rheingold wrote an important essay about the topic for the San Francisco Chronicle’s Web site
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • What’s at stake is no less than the quality of the information available in our society, and our collective ability to evaluate its accuracy and value. “Are we going to have a world filled with people who pass along urban legends and hoaxes?” Rheingold said, “or are people going to educate themselves about these tools [for crap detection] so we will have collective intelligence instead of misinformation, spam, urban legends, and hoaxes?”
  • I previously called fact-checking “one of the great American pastimes of the Internet age.” But, as Rheingold noted, the opposite is also true: the manufacture and promotion of bullshit is endemic. One couldn’t exist without the other. That makes Rheingold’s essay, his recent experiment with NewsTrust, and his wiki of online critical-thinking tools” essential reading for journalists. (He’s also writing a book about this topic.)
  • I believe if we want kids to succeed online, the biggest danger is not porn or predators—the biggest danger is them not being able to distinguish truth from carefully manufactured misinformation or bullshit

    The site is a government site that has official documents. We are interested in the first documents of our country. The little squares at teh top take you to different documents created when this country was trying to become free from England as well as how our government, laws and procedures were formed after we became independent.

  • 1. Request an educator's upgrade for Diigo; this will allow you to create private student groups that cannot be found by public search engines2. Use Diigo to invite students to join the group; follow up with emails as necessary 3. Refer students to online videos on social bookmarking, to make sure that students understand what social bookmarking involves.4. Seed the group with some example texts, including comments and annotations, so that students understand your expectations.5. Ask students to practice, to find out what issues they might have.6. Give feedback on early attempts, to reassure students they are on the right tracks.

  • Always have a print out of the students’ username and password ready. Mine forget theirs. A lot.
  • down menu for the ‘privacy’ feature (see below). Students need to decide if the content they are writing is to be shared with the rest of the group (and most of the time with mine, it was), so they need to find the group you have assigned them to belong to and select that.
