  This is such a great point, we have these strict safety guidelines in the schools, yet some students may be sharing every detail about their life on Facebook, Twitter or another social media.

But the outcry against intrusions on privacy takes place against a backdrop where it's normal to share a steady stream of details about your life. My concern is that, if we make our schools into places where "normal" means having your browsing history tracked daily, people will take that level of supervision for granted.

This story comes to us courtesy of California's EdSource Extra.

Performance and Exhibitions: The Demonstration of Mastery | Coalition of Essential Schools - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 22 Aug 11 - No Cached

Essential schools aim for teaching students how to find out and critically evaluate the facts they need in a particular situation- the thoughtful habits of mind that are sometimes called the "higher literacies." Most standardized tests, critics say, lack the subtlety and sophistication needed to test such critical thinking skills.

Part 2 of the Prensky's 2001 articles on Digital Natives. This one focuses on scientific evidence to back up what he said in part one. It also includes this interesting quote about the attention span of digital natives, which seems to contradict other research on multi-tasking: "Their attention spans are not short for games, for example, or for anything else that actually interests them. As a result of their experiences Digital Natives crave interactivity-an immediate response to their each and every action. Traditional schooling provides very little of this compared to the rest of their world (one study showed that students in class get to ask a question every 10 hours). So it generally isn't that Digital Natives can't pay attention, it's that they choose not to."
