"It’s always revealing to watch learners research. When trying to understand complex questions often as part of multi-step projects, they often simply “Google it.” Why do people migrate? Google it. Where does inspiration come from? Google it. How do different cultures view humanity differently? Google it. Literally Google it. Type those questions word-for-word into the Google search box and hope for answers..."

"...There are countless learners in classrooms everywhere who would struggle to be successful with a written recipe. Many of these learners would do just fine with a recipe presented in video format. This illustrates the imperative that learners be offered information in multiple formats." For students who find it difficult to work with text video provides an alternative format to learn information. "Text is only one way to share information. Numerous alternatives are equally effective, if not superior."

Sleep has many functions—including facilitating learning. Now a study finds that when we acquire new information, and how soon we sleep after that may affect our retention of the info.

"Teachers are the arbitrators of knowledge and culture. Knowledge and culture are each dynamic, endlessly crashing and churning. This makes teaching significantly important and difficult work, and can leave teaching—as a craft—wide-eyed and nonplussed in response. Worse, those outside the bubble of education can understandably struggle to understand the problem. What are the teaching in those schools anyway? How is it any different from when I was in school?"
Beth Dichter's insight:
How has teaching changed? Below are the seven key ideas. . 1. A culture of emerging literacies 2. A society that is mobile 3. A world where equity is a central theme 4. A society of constant connectivity 5. A world where the technology learns, too 6. A context that demands new credibility in an era of information 7. A culture that can seem, well, distracted Many teachers may be overwhelmed with these changes and may require professional development to help them develop new skills that technology brings. But change has happened before and will continue to happen. The question is how are we adapting to the changes and how can we assist our students in becoming independent learners in this new age of learning?

We say information is free, but does that mean it's all easy to learn? How can you become a free-range learner? The rough talk that goes with this presentation can be found here: http://bit.ly/nFKWrO

Today many students when asked a question choose to Google the answer. A generation is turning to one (or perhaps two or three) search engines and reading the top two or three results. As educators we should think about how this type of search is impacting how our students think. This post explores this, looking at three areas:
1. Google creates the illusion of accessibility
2. Google naturally suggests “answers” as stopping points
3. Being linear, Google obscures the interdependence of information
What do you think? Do you think Google is impacting student learning? Do you think that project based learning, inquiry learning, authentic learning projects would provide opportunities for students to not only search, but to use their critical thinking skills? This post may make you look at search engines in a different way.
