  • My students learn about writing mostly as they are writing. They learn very little from a failing grade, except that they can’t write.
  • Because I have access to their documents so early, I learn much more about my students’ writing and the issues that they need to overcome. This positions me for better teaching. It positions the students for better learning. That’s a win-win.

  • robbing kids of their ability to concentrate
  • The question, though, is: distraction from what? And also: What’s inherently wrong with distraction?
  • Formal education, as we’ve framed it, is not only about finding ways to learn more about the things we love, but also, equally, about squelching our aversion to the things we don’t — all in the ecumenical spirit of generalized knowledge.

  • He just doesn’t care about algebra.
  • The web inculcates a follow your bliss approach to learning that seeps
  • It’s a bottom-up shift that our top-down education systems, and journalism along with them, are grappling with.

      The real issue? What is the correct balance?
  • It’s not ruining what was; it’s simply moving on. We don’t write like the Romantics anymore, not because we can’t enjoy or appreciate what they write, but because that is simply not the world we live in.

  • The ultimate goal of literacy instruction is to build a student's comprehension, writing skills, and overall skills in communication.

  • But first, a caveat: there are exceptions to every generalization I am about to make.
  • irresolvable paradox that, without writing, we would not have Plato's staging of this discussion nor any record at all of Socrates' encounter with Phaedrus or of the Socratic method, nor indeed would there have been an Athens, as such, to remember.
  • Plato’s struggle with the relatively new technology of writing

  • The move from a print-centric to a network-centric world? Is this globally significant? Does this revolution in human communication have a cultural dynamic?
  • In this universe, everything revolves around the publisher who controls access to the means of production.
  • Web 2.0, which allows all readers to become writers, is the end of publishing as we have known it since the invention of Gutenberg's printing press
  • Writers still have their dog-earred personal copies of books ready to hand, but now they also have all been issued keys to the globe's virtual Alexandria Library. 
  • the advent of Web 2.0 is the sign of that the apocalypse is at hand and that what lies ahead is a shattering of all the organizing structures of contemporary reality

  • Given the comments I receive, pro and con, almost every time I write about social media - which range from conspiracy theories about the evil nature of Facebook to the unquestionable perfection of Twitter’s ability to disseminate news - I’d guess that we’re still in the grandiose pronouncements period when it comes to social media.
