One way is to model research. If we're expecting students to become researchers, should teachers also be public researchers. They should say in class, "I found this on the Internet last night, and this is how I found it." - dfw
Added lines 1093-1094:
This is a great question. I might give a hint by slightly rewording the question, "Are we empowering students to ask questions?" - dfw
Added lines 1099-1100:
I like TagCrowd, because it keeps everything horizontal, easier to read and analyze. If I want to learn something about a piece of text, by examining the words used most in it, then I use TagCrowd. Wordle does the same thing, but it's more about design than analysis. - dfw

That was the David Warlick web site, back before there were blogs. I'm not sure how many people use it now. Interstingly, the web sites linked to there are drawn from my Delicious bookmarks. - dfw

..because our prevailing information environment is networked, digital and abundant (overwhelming). - dfw
Added lines 1133-1134:
It's one of my favorite warlickisms ;-) ..and I think it speaks so much about the shifts that need to be made in society's notions of teaching and learning. - dfw
Added lines 1139-1140:
This is a fairly recent revaluation, that we become literate, not just so that we can read a newspaper or instructions at work, but in order to learn what you need to know, to do what you need to do. - dfw
Added lines 1145-1146:
You know, if students develop portfolios, and they are digitally available to the public, might the start to feel self-conscious if their work looks exactly like the work of a hundred other students. Might they be inspired to become more creative in their work, to stand apart? I don't know, but I know I would. - dfw
Added lines 1150-1151:
It's a good question. Frankly, I wish I had thought to keep my Facebook account personal, rather than letting 1,500 teachers friend me. Maintaining two Twitter accounts could be problematic. But another consideration is that educators are less likely to friend you, if most of your tweets are personal. With that in mind, it may be the best action to create a new account. - dfw

It's one of those "Ah Ha's" where we can see, for a moment, just how much the nature of information has changed. RSS is the coolest thing... - dfw
Added lines 412-413:
Thanks again for this link. I use to do a lot with this stuff. Yahoo (I think it was Yahoo) had something called Pipes that allowed you to mix and remix RSS feeds. Tablet apps do a lot of that for us now. - dfw

I've got to learn more about Google Drive. - dfw
Added lines 574-575:
It's what's wonderful about these conferences, and out of district conferences, which are mostly presented by teachers. You know, the thing is that most of these teachers didn't learn this stuff in workshops. They learned it because they were, well, Master Learners. - dfw
Added lines 608-609:
I'm really learning to love Instagram! - dfw

You need a better camera. You have a great eye for photography. You also need one of those lenses that takes pounds off your subjects ;-) - dfw

The coolest thing about Twitter is that because of its simplicity, there is so much that we can do with it. - dfw

I'm constantly hacking it, adding ideas for feature and tweaking things. Some times it doesn't work, as a result ;-) - dfw

Full Quote: "20th century education was defined by it limits. 21st century education must be defined by its lack of limits." - dfw

Is it really that different from Y'all's? You aught to hear some North Carolinians. In comprehensible. - dfw

We do the best that we can. We must become, what Heidi Hayes Jacobs calls, "Public Learners." - dfw
Added lines 938-939:
Yes, Yes, Yes! But I maintain that its the information. The nature of information has changed as a result of information and communication technologies. Our children should be learning within today's prevailing information landscape, which is digital, networked, and abundant. - dfw
Added lines 964-965:
It adds so many dimensions to the learning. I love that I can revisit my own presentation and evaluate it through your eyes. - dfw

:-) Get use to it. See it as an adventure. You know, folks my age are not comfortable with all this uncertainty. So what do we get in return. We're living with uncertainty, but what its made possible is opportunity. When anything can happen, then anything is possible. I am increasingly dropping reference to the "21st century" and starting to use "the age of opportunity." - dfw
