Another experiment since it looks like I shouldn't have indented. (Kristen again) Do people get notifications of these edits? June 18, 2012, at 01:01 PM EST

This is Kristen. Here's an example of learning by doing because I'm not sure I'm doing this right. My question: Is it possible to use Knitter Chat with students? I love how the conversation can continue after the session/class.

Being literate means asking questions about the answers that you learn, if they come from Wikipedia and if they come from the textbook
The thing is that Wikipedia is extraordinarily accurate. Studies have been done that showed that Wikipedia was nearly as accurate as Encyclopedia Britanica. If you think about it, Wikipedia is the most vetted information source in history. I could say more on the topic, but what's important is that we and our students know what Wikipedia is good at, and what it's not good at -- and the same for print reference sources. - dfw

..and also to gather answers from students, or answers to student questions. I rarely use this where I do not learn something that I didn't know before. - dfw

One of my favorite "Warlick" quotes ;-) - dfw

Yes, TodaysMeet is my favorite, besides Knitter. I like this feature of Knitter, that I can get the feedback of reading the notes, and then share my comments back to you. It extends the learning experience. - dfw
Added lines 76-77:
But TodaysMeet is simply and reliable. Very robust. I'm always tweaking and hacking Knitter. As I said, it's a personal experiment. - dfw
Added lines 82-83:
Both! The tools and environment that I talked about are the tools and environment that your students will live and work in, and that's not including the tools and qualities of the information environment that will emerge soon. They should learn in a way that is relevant to the ways that they will continue to learn after school. - dfw
Added lines 96-97:
As I said later on in the morning, We're now generating that much information every-other-day. - dfw
Added lines 102-103:
I can understand that. But there are people who actually make a living there. It's creepy, but also fascinating. Neal Stephenson wrote a fascinating book about virtual worlds called "Snow Crash." The world there is called "The Metaverse." - dfw
Added lines 108-109:
It means, IMHO, that what our children learn has become less important, and how they learn has become more important. The act, skill, and practice of learning is the key. It's THE literacy skill, Learning-Literacy. - dfw

Who more than a teacher must be skilled and practiced at learning. It's the very worse thing that a teacher can say to me, when he or she asks, "But who's going to teach me how to do that?" - dfw
Added lines 28-29:
To be absolutely honest, it's two things that are difficult to do at the same time. It's worth it, but difficult, especially if you are older than 34 ;-) - dfw
