learning is all about opening boxes

In education, boxes can prevent discussion and invention and growth

AASL’s Common Beliefs Reading is a window to the world. Inquiry provides a framework for learning. Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. Technology skills are crucial for future employment needs. Equitable access is a key component for education. The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed. The continuing expansion of information demands that all individuals acquire the thinking skills that will enable them to learn on their own. Learning has a social context . School libraries are essential to the development of learning skills

Some districts prefer to keep new boxes closed .

In education, boxes can prevent and discussion and invention

Important law of physics: Boxes must be opened!* *Exception: those in your basement or attic

Evaluating Wikis What is the purpose of the collaborative project and who began it? How many people appear to be involved in editing the wiki? Does it seem that the information collected is improved by having a variety of participants? How heavily edited were the pages you plan to use? How rich is the wiki? How many pages does it contain? Does the project appear to be alive? Are folks continuing to edit it? Does the information appear accurate? Can I validate it in other sources?

What is the purpose of the collaborative project and who began it?

How many people appear to be involved in editing the wiki? Does it seem that the information collected is improved by having a variety of participants? How heavily edited were the pages you plan to use?

How rich is the wiki? How many pages does it contain?

Does the project appear to be alive? Are folks continuing to edit it?

Does the information appear accurate? Can I validate it in other sources?

Evaluating blogs Who is the blogger? What sorts of materials is the blogger reading or citing? Does this blogger have influence? Is the blog well-established? Who and how many people link to the blog? Who is commenting? Does this blog appear to be part of a community? Tools like Technorati http://technorati.com and Blogpulse http://blogpulse.com can help learners assess the influence of a blog. Is this content covered in depth? With authority? How sophisticated is language / spelling? Is this blog alive? It there a substantial archive? How current are posts? At what point in a story’s lifetime did a post appear? Is the site upfront about its bias? If the blogger is not a traditional “expert,” is this a first-hand view that would also be valuable for research? Is it a unique perspective?

What about . . .?

Hope is the Thing with Feathers Emily Dickinson &quot;Hope&quot; is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest sea, Yet never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
