- (Can our teachers skip the how-to portion for themselves and move on to application for students?)by rrodgers at 2/23/2009 2:57:33 PM
- (In other words, do the teachers have to have the skills already or can they just start modeling the use of the information?)by rrodgers at 2/23/2009 2:58:29 PM

- Discussing book Born Digital. Today's kids first "graze", skimming through large amounts of information. Then, they dig deeper when they find something that interests them. They then engage in the "feedback loop" by sharing information, comments via their Facebook, MySpace, etc., continuing and expanding the conversation.by rrodgers at 2/23/2009 3:39:59 PM
- Question from audience about students' ability to identify accurate/inaccurate information. David says it centers on our conversations in the classroom: ask, "How do you know that is true?"by rrodgers at 2/23/2009 3:41:47 PM
