Teaching Google Natives To Value Information - 0 views

Berta Winiker on 04 Apr 13This very short and concise article has been in my thinking as I've worked with students especially recently and pulled together other resources on Common Core. Amidst the glut of information and feeding frenzy tendencies, structure and guidance is needed from all of us to be deliberate. As we design instruction, consider learning expectations, select tools and resources and raise the bar for students, "re-impress upon digital natives the importance of thinking in absence of endless - and endlessly accessible - data sources." I urge you to shake up completely the animal, planet or country report. (I doubt that you are doing this cookie-cutter work, but spread the word). If a simple Google search can answer the question, throw out the assignment.
