  • The typewriter prized one particular kind of intelligence, but with the Web, we suddenly have a medium that honors multiple forms of intelligence-abstract, textual, visual, musical, social, and kinesthetic. As educators, we now have a chance to construct a medium that enables all young people to become engaged in their ideal way of learning. The Web affords the match we need between a medium and how a particular person learns.
  • The first dimensional shift has to do with literacy and how it is evolving. Literacy today involves not only text, but also image and screen literacy. The ability to "read" multimedia texts and to feel comfortable with new, multiple-media genres is decidedly nontrivial.
  • The real literacy of tomorrow entails the ability to be your own personal reference librarian-to know how to navigate through confusing, complex information spaces and feel comfortable doing so

  • I think its probably also true that confusion is only valuable in moderation. Too much confusion can easily lead to feeling lost and a sense of dispair that is deeply harmful to learning. But I find that many of my students have a difficult time with any confusion at all. They crave that feeling of everything being explained so it just makes sense, and can quickly fall into a sense of helplessness at the first signs of confusion. So it would seem increasing my students ‘confusion tolerance’ is also necessary.
