22. Evolving Learning Landscape
Current thinking about 21st century skills, and the learning
experiences that support their development, are essential
starting points for capacity building. A list of the workforce
skills presented by Davies, et al (2011, pp. 8-12) include:
• Sense-making
• Social intelligence
• Novel and adaptive thinking
• Cross-cultural competency
• Computational thinking
• New-media literacy
• Transdisciplinarity
• Design mindset
• Cognitive load management
• Virtual collaboration

38. The digital age student who
can think critically, learn
through connections, create
knowledge and understand
concepts should be able to
actively participate in a
digitally enhanced society.

41. How should pedagogy and
technology connect?

42. More content, streams of data,

online environments
require an equivalent shift in our

47. Simply using the latest 1-to-1
device, or the latest website,
or the latest app is not the
solution either, although these
shiny new toys can provide
an illusion of advancement
and success.

SearchReSearch blog
http://searchresearch1.blogspot.com.au/
A blog about search, search skills, teaching search, learning how to search, learning how to
use Google effectively, learning how to do research. It also covers a good deal of sensemaking
and information foraging.

50. For several years people have
been fascinated by small, robot-
like figures popping up in city
streets and other innocuous
places. These figures, now
documented in flickr pools and
blog posts from cities arose the
world, can be attributed to
Stikman (sometimes searched for
and referred to as "stickman"), an
anonymous graffiti artist,
sometimes perhaps going by the
alias "Bob," who has been putting
these images up since at least
2006.
http://searchresearch1.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/wednesday-search-challenge-11613-whats.html
Search for 'painted
yellow man robot'
yielded 'stickman' for a
better explanation.

What else can we do?

53. When your formative years are spent working your fingers
through apps and iPads, smartphones and YouTube, the
digital world and its habits can bend and shape not just
how you access information, but how you conceptualise it!

54. !
New developments in search, such as Google
instant (that shows results as you type) have
both enhanced & hindered the
seeking
to search terms, and so making
customization

55. Google creates the illusion of accessibility
.... because your knowledge and my knowledge,
based on what search results we are served, may
be very different from each other.

56. Learn about the latest
additions to search so as to
get the most out of Google.
http://www.google.com/insidesearch/features/
Because Google is where
everyone starts!

57. http://www.google.com/insidesearch/searcheducation/index.html
Google alerts too!

59. By showing our students how to
connect a database information
repository (such as EBSCO, Gale, or
JStor) or a local library service with
Google Scholar, we are helping
students broaden the scope of
their information seeking, while at
the same time refining the quality
of the information response.

Journey of a lifetime

64. The natural limitations of search has
resulted in expansion of choice in
information curation.!
!
The traditional social bookmarking sites like
diigo, pearltrees, Scoopit, and others
enable users to save information. !
Products like pinterest allow for collection
of visual artifacts, allowing users to
organize them into infinite categories.!
http://www.teachthought.com/featured/how-google-impacts-the-way-students-think/
But recent software has taken this even further, with
apps like Learnist, mentormob, and even InstaGrok
providing more structure to how information is not only
discovered, but sequenced and applied.!
