I haven't watched this whole thing yet, but his TED talk from 2008 was amazing. If you are into food, but don't fully understand the mechanisms behind food production, this is worth it.

This author brings up the question that I've wrestled with before: just because we can, does it mean that we should? Or should our abilities always go to make us more human?

This is such a scary topic but something that needs to be thought about. This has happened in our own town, instead of helping, people are video taping someone being beat up. I wonder though how this happens? Does it happen because it can or we have the technology to allow it or has the moral compass of our nation changed so that we don't see anything wrong with it? Crazy article.

Did you watch the "This American Life' cartoon? That is exactly what you are describing, where even the premise of creating news shows altered how kids behaved in the face of a situation that called for social action. It raises the question for me of "should the kids know more how to operate the high tech camera, or when to step out from behind it and act?"

Yeah I watched the cartoon and saved it in hopes that I can show it to my students one day and have that discussion. I think they NEED to know how to step out and act - being a good person and citizen should always be number one and if they do that then they will use their technology for the best things! I love these diigo posts - thanks!

I love this idea for many of you that demand oral presenations of your students. Limit them with time and content of slide and see what happens.

This is the kind of idea I had when I said we were going to go with the portfolio idea. We need to be able to let our students tell the story of their learning.

4 Points - The posting(s) integrates multiple viewpoints and weaves both class readings and other participants' postings into their discussion of the subject.   3 Points - The posting(s) builds upon the ideas of another participant or two, and digs deeper into the question(s) posed by the instructor.   2 Points - A single posting that does not interact with or incorporate the ideas of other participants' comments.   1 Point - A simple "me too" comment that neither expands the conversation nor demonstrates any degree of reflection by the student.   0 Points - No comment.

  We do need ways to quantify and evaluate discussions online. I think these are fair and accurate measures.
