I am so glad that this assignment is as thorough as it is.
I enjoyed reviewing Ann's Introductory Presentation of the MILI pdf. It was so good that I sent it on to a favorite young person who makes his living doing all things for Web marketing. I am curious to get his reaction.
I also am quite taken by the article "Truth: Can You Handle It". I am new to the high school scene. I am amazed at the number of students who are coming into the media lab asking for formatting help on "their" work, when it is obviously a cut and paste from the Internet. "Information has replaced knowledge" is applicable to the students and to me. I know where to look things up. Always enjoyed that part of the librarian's job. But now it is far too rampant, as this article points out. I see the students and their "growing impatience and real passivity". This article is scary in that it affirms what I am seeing in real life.
I can't wait to spend more of my time doing collaboration with teachers and students. This reading has whetted my desire to polish my skills and get out there and do some lesson planning.
