rapid change

How does the rapid change in technology, media, and society affect how we teach our kids to research?

We’re in a technology tsunami. Whether you love it or hate it, ultimately we have to figure out how to survive it and make it work for us.- Peggy Klaus

“In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped for a world which no longer exists.”- Eric Hoffer

“One of the effects of living with electronic information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There’s always more than you can cope with.” - Clay Shirky

“It’s not about Information Overload.It’s about Filter Failure.” - Clay Shirky

protocol #1: think, pair, shareUsing your nametags, find the person who lives/work closest

to you.

Have a short discussion with your partner: How does this affect kids? How does this

affect educators?

The visual cortex is 20% larger than

brains measured 20 years ago.

In tests, digital natives retain 90% of 100 pictures shown.

concerns about digital natives

Can students reflect?Are they critical thinkers?

Do they consider ethics and respect?Does their health suffer?

Are they too often bored and tuned out?

Can they function in a community?

“If all your kids learn to do is read and write,they won’t be literate.”- David Warlick

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those

who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” - Alvin Toffler

protocol #2: final word

Using your nametags, find the person who is closest to you in number of years spent in

education.

What tasks are hardest for digital natives? For digital immigrants?

First person shares an idea for 3 minutes. Second person can then agree/disagree, but first person does not talk until 1 minute has passed. First person then gets 1 minutes to

have “last word.” Then switch roles.

literacy.

protocol #3: reflection on a word

Traditional Information

Literacy Print resources are the main source of information and are considered to be the trustworthy and up-to-

date resources available.

Final products of research are usually in print format.

Focus is placed on relaying information and synthesizing ideas.

Students focus on finding the right answer and receive a grade when assignment ends.

Librarian is seen as a guide to navigating the physical space of the library.

The library is a space with four walls that closes at the end of the day.

One source of information is consulted at one time.

21st Century Information

LiteracyOnline resources are one of many sources of

information and must be evaluated for timeliness and accuracy.

Final products of research come in many formats due to the use of technology.

Focus is placed on evaluating information and forming new ideas.

Students focus on good information and learning continues when assignment ends.

Librarian is seen as a pathfinder to new resources of information in all formats.

The library is always open, with an online presence that extends beyond school.

Many sources of information is consulted as an information “stream.”

better search skills

Examine Results

Diagram Searches

DON'T (or at least try not to as much as possible for Mrs. Corey's sake :) ) . . .

• ask Google a question• George Washington's diary example

• include articles like THE and AND• The Who and WHO example

• use verbs when you could use nouns• Eat versus Food example

DO (or at least give this a try for Mrs. Corey's sake. It will help! :) ) . . .•Search Terms

•Find specific search terms

•Easy to Understand•Make sure your search is simple

•Exact Phrases•Put quotes around exact phrases

•Modifiers•Add modifiers like adjectives when needed

•Synonyms•Find synonyms to try multiple searches
