    This is what we are starting to teach in 5th grade library as students prepare to begin a long research project.

    Thank you Ruth! This article is just about what I am trying to do with my students for years! This is very motivating! I found out last year that linking evaluating and citing sources is a good think to keep students focused: they search the author, publisher etc... and evaluate at the same time. You can read my blog post http://www.coetail.asia/amthinnes/ "changing the way we are teaching" (Sorry, the blog is difficult to read... getting better every week...) , for more info about it. The link I used so far is not bad from 9 grade, but too difficult for the younger children. If you have a better one, let me know! Anyway, it is great to know that we are at the same page.... Cheers, Anne-Marie

      What I'm thinking already is positive--greater access is important. Negative. What about face time? Will this erase time spent face-to-face?
  • What if someone listened to hundreds of podcasts, watched dozens of online lectures, explored countless online resources related to Introduction to Auditing, Astronomy 101, or Ancient Rome, and then discussed them with friends and family or reflected on many of them in an online forum or series of blog posts?

  • The jury is still out on the need for a guide or facilitator in open education. As co-editor of a handbook of blended learning, I can say that I personally believe that blended is best. Recent research seems to suggest that this is true

      Without a guide or facilitator, do you leave too much room for interpretation, making up the facts?

      The very nature of this workshop suggests to me that we all need guides and human contact to a greater or lesser extent. I'm really enjoying these conversations - both online and in person!

      This is great article about how education is evolving and how it will be in the next century. My apprehension is that without a human interference how effective will it be?
  • Technology is changing higher education
  • Leading universities are putting course materials or even entire courses online -- free.

      I'm wondering how the "news feed" of facebook has influenced our expectations for other contexts. Has it made us expect efficiency? Has it made us lazy? 
  • Users’ worries about their privacy seemed to vanish within days, boiled away by their excitement at being so much more connected to their friends
  • social norms catching up with what technology is capable of.”
  • In essence, Facebook users didn’t think they wanted constant, up-to-the-minute updates on what other people are doing. Yet when they experienced this sort of omnipresent knowledge, they found it intriguing and addictive. Why?

      For me this is facebook type material. To my way of thinking Twitter should make me better - better informed, better connected, a better professional, human being etc.
    • Jamie Raskin

      I think it all adds up to a growing informality in our day to day communications... brevity, immediacy, intimacy
  • The phenomenon is quite different from what we normally think of as blogging, because a blog post is usually a written piece, sometimes quite long: a statement of opinion, a story, an analysis.
  • Haley discovered that he was beginning to sense the rhythms of his friends’ lives in a way he never had before.

      This is not the promoted use of Twitter... I always see it as an intellectual/professional connection tool, but is that just the way it's evolved?
  • But they also discovered that the little Ping-Ponging messages felt even more intimate than a phone call.
  • the idea of using communication tools as a form of “co-presence”
  • Ambient intimacy becomes a way to “feel less alone,” as more than one Facebook and Twitter user told me.

      Are these gratifying relationships? I don't know that I have gratifying relationships built on snippets of info...
  • What sort of relationships are these? What does it mean to have hundreds of “friends” on Facebook? What kind of friends are they, anyway?
    • Adam Clark
      Adam Clark on 17 Sep 11
       
      How do the fact that we are wrestling with these questions impact our relationships IRL (in real life)? Are they all in real life or are they distinct? 
  • This makes them skimmable, like newspaper headlines; maybe you’ll read them all, maybe you’ll skip so

      twitter feeds are "skimmable", don't have to read in great detail
  • psychological studies have confirmed that human groupings naturally tail off at around 150 people: the “Dunbar number,” as it is known. Are people who use Facebook and Twitter increasing their Dunbar number, because they can so easily keep track of so many more people?
  • “I outsource my entire life,” she said. “I can solve any problem on Twitter in six minutes.”
  • This rapid growth of weak ties can be a very good thing. Sociologists have long found that “weak ties” greatly expand your ability to solve problems.
  • Parasocial relationships can use up some of the emotional space in our Dunbar number, crowding out real-life people.
  • “They can observe you, but it’s not the same as knowing you.”
  • the sheer ease of following her friends’ updates online has made her occasionally lazy about actually taking the time to visit them in person.
  • It brings back the dynamics of small-town life, where everybody knows your business
  • a culture of people who know much more about themselves.

      Also maybe also a culture of narcissists.  http://www.narcissismepidemic.com/aboutbook.html

      There's a lot of information out there and we need to provide students with the critical thinking skills to successfully navigate between what is useful or true and that of utter rubbish. All the while encouraging them to expand their learning network, but not forgetting about the importance of face to face connections and hands on experiences.

  • As I’m fond of saying, Facebook is about people you used to know; Twitter is about people you’d like to know better.

      It is an interesting notion that facebook is all about the past continuum, but twitter is all about you taking initiative to connect to an interest group.
