Editor's Notes
Let’s set the stage
Old web to new web---more dynamic, more interactive, very wide and very deep (long tail),
There are few situations or jobs that do not require information and the ability to apply it.Translitercy is a term that has come into vogue lately—encompasses all types of
Content is very broad—phone videos, blogs, yelp reviews along with the more formal traditional types of content creation
And therefore—limit their lifelong ability to question, evaluate, and use information in any form
No longer can we be expected to remain unchallenged in what we say—we can be contradicted and corrected easily Gaming culture, parenting styles, level of independence
Wi-fi enabled devices—iPads, phones, netbooks—and ubiquitous free wifi at public and academic libraries not to mention at McDonalds, Starbucks, Panera and the various Minneapolis hot spots
Some estimates say that by 2014 more than 22 million post-secondary students will take courses online—double the number today. Only about ¼ of total students will take all classes F2F
Yes if
SO….
In MILI we focus on the first three of these
Standards that address 21st century skills and information literacy. Summaries of the standards are handouts
All the standards, all the skills, all the pieces are focused on the students—defining and teaching the skills they need to succeed now and the future.
There is a lot of noise, a lot to learn, A lot of noise and a lot of competition
