    A post that offers "10 graphic novels for the literary minded, broken down by genre to give you a fighting chance at picking something you might enjoy. The usual suspects avoided - Maus, Watchmen, and the like, which are both excellent of course, but have also been recommended a million times before - in favor of some more recent offerings that you may or may not have heard about."

    Insulat-Ed December 10, 2008 - 7:55 pm As the scope and quality of learning that can happen outside of institutional groups continues to increase, the educational hegemony of traditional schools continues to decrease. In Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations, Clay Shirky writes, "Now that there is competition to traditional institutional forms for getting things done, those institutions will continue to exist, but their purchase on modern life will weaken as novel alternatives for group action arise."

reading teaching online web

shared by Tania Sheko on 14 Jun 10 - Cached
  • Like many of you, I talk to my students about authenticity of content — to be critical readers online — but I don’t often guide them through how to read a webpage or a multimedia document.
  • I don’t make the same assumptions when it comes to thinking about theme and character development and point of view when it comes to our novels? Why don’t I do the same for the world where they spend most of their time — the online space?

    An interesting post about the need to teach students how to read a webpage or multimedia document. Interesting that we teach them how to evaluate the authenticity of web content but not how to read a web page.
