It is distracting, and I think that if people are Knitting or Tweeting during my presentation, then you do miss some stuff. But the trade-off is that you may be more engaged in the issues of the talk, because you are reading the insights of other attendees and adding your own. It's not something you would do all the time.

For years it was just about test-prep. I think that 1:1 initiatives are part of the shift, that teaching and learning naturally change when students have access to a global electronic library, and they are starting to fact-check their teachers. Calling ourselves master learners, gives us permission to make mistakes, and then say, "Here's what I learned from that."</span> - dfw <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Trent Perseverence, adaptability, exploratory sense 31 Oct 2012 - 21:07:30 -><img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='35' align='left' style='margin-right: 10px;'><span style="color: #900;">I liked to suggestion that students should be inclined to explore.

I think that you have to have the skills of learning and the inclination to learn. We all do it, mostly. It's just coming to realize that it's learning.

Should the government? I don't know. I have to agree that there is a shallow set of basic knowledge kids need to learn so that we all have a common and workable context.

It is distracting, and I think that if people are Knitting or Tweeting during my presentation, then you do miss some stuff. But the trade-off is that you may be more engaged in the issues of the talk, because you are reading the insights of other attendees and adding your own. It's not something you would do all the time.

For years it was just about test-prep. I think that 1:1 initiatives are part of the shift, that teaching and learning naturally change when students have access to a global electronic library, and they are starting to fact-check their teachers. Calling ourselves master learners, gives us permission to make mistakes, and then say, "Here's what I learned from that."</span> - dfw <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Trent Perseverence, adaptability, exploratory sense 31 Oct 2012 - 21:07:30 -><img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='35' align='left' style='margin-right: 10px;'><span style="color: #900;">I liked to suggestion that students should be inclined to explore.

I think that you have to have the skills of learning and the inclination to learn. We all do it, mostly. It's just coming to realize that it's learning.

Should the government? I don't know. I have to agree that there is a shallow set of basic knowledge kids need to learn so that we all have a common and workable context. I suggested a while back that someone develop a web tool that scans the news looking for current topics of value and then dig deeper, looking for the background information that would lead to the understanding of the topic. You would have a dynamic projecting of the basic knowledge kids need right now.</span> - dfw <img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' height='25' style='float: left; margin-right: 10px;'>Randy @Ed If we agree that people learn differently, then I think also think "subject" areas are going to come easier to some than others, 31 Oct 2012 - 21:41:31 -><img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='35' align='left' style='margin-right: 10px;'><span style="color: #900;">That's probably true.

For years it was just about test-prep. I think that 1:1 initiatives are part of the shift, that teaching and learning naturally change when students have access to a global electronic library, and they are starting to fact-check their teachers.

I think that you have to have the skills of learning and the inclination to learn. We all do it, mostly. It's just coming to realize that it's learning. Like I said earlier, we don't think of it as learning, because it doesn't look like a classroom.

Should the government? I don't know. I have to agree that there is a shallow set of basic knowledge kids need to learn so that we all have a common and workable context.

But as students are invited or expected to talk about how they learn, to metacognate (?), then they may be able to learn regardless.
