LRND Weekly #9 "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" - Ian Poor - 0 views

  • First off I would like to point out that I am extremely torn about this subject, and am actually more confused after going through this process (haha).

      That's okay, Ian.  Some educational psychologists argue that "cognitive dissonance" is a necessary precondition for new learning.  (Put another way, when we're "sure" about our opinions, we tend to stop listening and thinking.)
  • e need to use new and upcoming technologies (like the ones we are researching for our PLE’s) to help students gain the techniques and work patterns that can help them “dive deeper” into the “right” content.

  • The author mentions that UDL is meant to “level the playing field” for learners with all kinds of disabilities and I think that it has the potential to enhance the learning experience for all types of learners.

      I do, too.  If a tool can help a student learn or think better, he or she should use it, whether or not he or she has a diagnosed learning disability or sensory issue.
  • As a learning designer I want to take it upon myself to promote this new approach within the learning environments I create in the future.

      Good!  I think this is something that more and more future employers will expect, but it's still the right thing to do because it's the right thing to do.
