  • what's required of schools is not developing within students a whole other skill set, but simply teaching them to apply to a new arena the ones they already have

      A key point. Often times we get caught up in thinking this has to be more on the plate. It's not. It's about shifting our focus a little.
  • K-12 graduates should understand how to use it to define and break down a problem, look into how similar problems have been solved, and design and implement a solution. In communicating that solution, they should be skillful not merely at typing a Word document but also at telling a compelling story through an interactive multimedia presentation.

      Love the "compelling story" part of this quote.
  • "Today's students could be technologically literate as well as great communicators in traditional settings," Knezek says, "but get the socks beaten off them by someone who has learned to communicate in a digital setting."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • While many schools have taken the step of asking students to use digital media in assignments, few are teaching them strategies for doing it well
  • Fadel and others concerned about the tech skills of the future workforce also emphasize the importance of information and communication technology literacy: a working knowledge of computers and the applications that run on them--everything from e-mail and spreadsheet tools to statistical analysis packages--along with the ability to learn new ones rapidly.
  • "There is a skill to typing the right question into the search engine and knowing how to discriminate between different sources of information."

    Most would agree that "A picture is worth a thousand words." Perhaps strangely, allow me to make the case that sometimes there is also value in distilling those thousand words into a scant few. This little post is a bit of practical sharing meant to point to two things: a cute little iOS application, and a few quick examples of its practical use. Oh, and really, I wouldn't be doing it here if it wasn't worth at least a handful of words as well.
