AFT - Publications - American Educator - Spring 2006 - How Knowledge Helps - 0 views
-
The more you know, the easier it will be for you to learn new things.
-
Recent neurological and psychological research (using scientific methodolgy as a basis, not theories e.g. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Bloom's Taxonomy, etc) is indicating that the constructivist models of learning, where 'process' is valued far more than 'content', are incorrect. Knowledge and thinking are interdependent and to think well, students must have knowledge.

While this article starts out about a lawfirm in Birmingham UK that is going to "track down people who make anonymous comments about companies online" it becomes an amazingly poignant article on the very nature of the Internet today and the push pull between anonymous commenting and accountability of the commenter. Push pull between free speech and online identity and brand protection. One person in this article claims that this sort of thing is the sign that the "wild west" of the INternet is coming to an end. Oh dear, I hope someone invents a new one if somehow anonymous commenters are now going to risk such! Also love the article's discussion of the Streisand effect wherein Barbara protested the sharing of some photos of her eroding beachfront which caused a stir and more people looking at the photos than if she had left it alone. This article is going to be a must read for Flat Classroom students and would be great for college-level discussions as well.
