i dont mean too bother u but\": Student Email and a Call for Netiquette
BY DENISE D. KNIGHT AND NORALYN MASSELINK
I'm sorry that I am apparently an inconvenience to your precious
time, but you are my advisor and I'm pretty sure it is your job to
clarify any misunderstandings that I might have…..
maybe you should reconsider your role as an advisor….
I thought communicating with an actual person might be more
helpful than trying to search for one particular answer in twenty
pages of information.

Smart!
Innovative!
Enthusiasm!

Who checks e-mail every day?

FRAND, “The information age mindset” (2000)

A short quiz…

Computers
......................... are not technology

… 90% does instant messaging, 20% has an
own website, 40% a blog, about 50% an
online profile page.

Multitasking
............................. is a way of life

Less than 40% of -30 year
old people know their
own cell phone number

Continuous Partial Attention?
 ”The Tipping Point”… describes how researchers for Sesame Street
determined what parts and how much of the show were actually
registering with five-year-old kids. What they discovered was that,
when presented with toys …, these
children were able to play with toys and
remember content from the show just as
well as kids who just watched the show.

These “topless meetings” are much more productive.

Today’s students are no
longer the people our
educational system was
designed to teach.

Education is what remains after what has been
learned has been forgotten

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle
wakes up. It knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes
up. It knows it must outrun
the slowest gazelle or it will
starve to death.

It doesn’t really matter whether you’re a
lion or a gazelle. When the sun goes
up, you’d better start running.
(The world is flat, Thomas Friedman)

It’s not about technology – it’s about
people -> collaboration in large networks
It’s about being information literate

Educational innovation?

We shape our tools…
M. McLuhan
shape us.
…and then our tools

Never confuse the map
with the territory
Empire of the Sun, J.G. Ballard

Never confuse the tools
with what you want to
accomplish by using
them

-> It’s not about the tools, it’s about the
people behind the tools.

No written word, nor spoken plea
Can teach our youth what they should be
Nor all the books on all the shelves
It's what the teachers are themselves
Quoted by John Wooden

Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet
them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -
hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity,
loyalty … - these things are old. These things are true.

Collaboration tools to share knowledge
in communities of practice?

Dr. Edward Weiler, on the loss of the Mars Lander because of a
simple error on conversion between metric and English units.
People sometimes make errors - The problem here
was not the error, it was the failure of NASA's
systems engineering, and the checks and
balances in our processes to detect the error.
That's why we lost the spacecraft.

We could have avoided the
financial crisis if we had had
better knowledge management
in the financial world

MIT research shows that 40% of creative teams
productivity is explained by the amount of
communication they have with others
to discover, gather, and
internalise information.

We could have avoided the 9-11 attacks
with a better knowledge management
between various intelligence agencies

Information literacies?

advertising agency
