Old punctuation means "stop"; the new punctuation (hyperlink) means keep going.
The main thing the web is teaching our kids is the world is more interesting than we were ever told.
When you learn something, don't keep it inside. Do something with it. Publish it! Blog it! Tweet it! Discussion Forum it!
Homework is an equity issue.
If you don't have technology available you are at a disadvantage.
You must connect yourself to connect your students.
In the classroom, computers are oversold and underused.
We need to prepare students for their future, not our past.
Treat the world as a place of creation not consumption.
In the age of information, knowledge stops with paper. Paper is dead.
You can't have a conversation with ideas on paper nor can you connect or communicate easily with others who care about those ideas.
My thoughts:
"When you learn something, don't keep it inside. Do something with it. Publish it! Blog it! Tweet it! Discussion Forum it!" I chose this quote because I think that the sharing of knowledge is important. I feel that when something is discovered or something new is learned it should be shared with others for a few reasons. One when something is learned by a student that is an accomplishment to them so they should celebrate their new found knowledge. Also they should share it that way other students are able to learn from it as well. If they keep what they learn inside then no one else will be able to learn the things they did, but by sharing it ( on blogs, twitter, facebook, etc) this information can spread to people. Then, those people can spread it and share it and share things they learned as well, and eventually a network of knowledge can be found. "In the classroom, computers are oversold and underused." I agree I also with the statement that computers are oversold and underused. I think that even in college there is a lack of trust from faculty when it comes to the use of a computer. I think the professors believe that we are not focusing on them by having laptops out where as they are actually supplimental learning aids for us. On our laptops we are able to type notes more quickly and even add additional things that our teachers have said. We are also able to search concepts simmultaneously online that maybe we didn't quite understand the teachers description of. I think that the computer also helps those of us who are visual maybe pull up visual aids of what the teachers are talking about. The computer helps students encompass all varieties of learning methods to help us learn better.
