    Thanks to Mr. Mayo's 8th graders, who made the suggestion, and Mark Wagner's prompting to create a wiki -- here is a wiki for interested people to start dreaming about a Google school in connectioin with Google's 10 to the 100th project. The deadline is Oct. 20. Basic guidelines are: * Reach: How many people would this idea affect? * Depth: How deeply are people impacted? How urgent is the need? * Attainability: Can this idea be implemented within a year or two? * Efficiency: How simple and cost-effective is your idea? * Longevity: How long will the idea's impact last?

The Essential Role of Information Fluency in E-Learning and Online Teaching | The Sloan... - 0 views

  • I've been researching and writing about Information Fluency since the turn of the century. My work is published on the 21st Century Information Fluency Portal: http://21cif.imsa.edu You'll find modular online learning content including games, micromodules and assessments on the portal. (Free for all educators.) I include information fluency training in all of my online classes. I introduce power searching and website investigation to the graduate students studying in the E-Learning and Online Teaching Certificate Program at UW-Stout ( http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/elearningcertificate.html ) because I believe that Information Fluency is a foundation skill for all online teachers and learners.
  • Curiously, most educators think they are competent searchers and evaluators, when they are really just beginners. Their disposition is to ask for help rather than search for answers. With simple instruction many radically improve their ability to search, and evaluate. This is empowering and greatly increases learner satisfaction. Instruction in copyright and fair use is also part of the program.
  • As online teachers and learners we work in a computer where information is just a few keystrokes away.
