Understanding Network Literacy (and why we need it)

Understanding Ways to Develop a Network

Educational Leadership – Literacy 2.0 March 2009Becoming Network-WiseWill RichardsonStudents today are living in a world of online interactions for which they have few learning contexts or models. Schools must begin to prepare students for their connected futures online. Teachers need to embrace new technologies in their own practice and add an important expectation for learning—namely, that by graduation, students will be able to create, navigate, and grow their own personal learning networks in safe, effective, and ethical ways. This means that teachers need to acclimate students to hypertext environments, teach them to critically "read" both information and people, hone students' skills in writing for authentic audiences and in multiple modes, and promote organized sharing of online sites and resources.

Teach them to hold their world (not ours) in the palm of their hands- Don’t set them up to be crushed because they have outdated skills.http://www.flickr.com/photos/25891376@N00/3204073130/http://www.flickr.com/photos/73645804@N00/440672445/

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

The dialog we should be having as professional educators – as communities and nations –is what do children need to be learning today to be ready for an unpredictable future.The best thing we can be teaching our children today is how to teach themselves.TRANSLATION – TEACH THEM TO NETWORKNOTE - IT IS HARD TO TEACH/MODEL WHAT YOU DON’T KNOWhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/84496435@N00/437673782/
