Experts Weigh in On The Hyper-Connected Lives of Young People; Say Digital Literacy Edu... - 7 views

  • The findings showed that college students are not always turning to the most relevant clues to determine the veracity of online content. Indeed, students appear to lack “Web savvy” when it comes to determining credibility and using search engines. According to study results, students favor the rankings of search engines and the top result rather than other factors, such as the author’s credentials
  • According to predictions of 1,021 experts ranging from tech CEOs, professors, and principal researchers, hyper-connected young people will be nimble multitaskers by 2020; however, they will also likely thirst for instant gratification and may value the immediacy of their information over the credibility of their findings.

The worst eighth-grade math teacher in New York City - 4 views

  •  
    For 10 months, Carolyn Abbott waited for the other shoe to drop. In April 2011, Abbott, who teaches mathematics to seventh- and eighth-graders at the Anderson School, a citywide gifted-and-talented school on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, received some startling news. Her score on the Teacher Data Report, the New York City Department of Education's effort to isolate a teacher's contribution to her students' performance on New York State's math and English Language Arts (ELA) tests in grades four through eight, said that 32 percent of seventh-grade math teachers and 0 percent of eighth-grade math teachers scored below her. She was, according to this report, the worst eighth-grade math teacher in New York City, where she has taught since 2007.

  • "If you care about it," he tells me, "you should make it something that can outlast you, that people can make their own."
