Search, citation and plagiarism: skills for a digital age have to be taught!CIT, NUS
By N. Sivasothi
A "writing workshop" of three 24-hour essays is integrated into a first year core module (biodiversity) and a personal statement and field report are requirements of a popular second year elective (ecology).
General and specific feedback is provided by motivated TAs to students in groups and individually. Offered both semesters, the typical enrolment is about 200 students. It had became clear that skills for a digital age had to be specifically taught to enhance scholarship. Some of those lessons are discussed here.
Besides the slew of tips for conducting an effective Google search, an ability to adapt the vocabulary of specific disciplines and an evaluation of site credibility are important skills.
Learning and understanding citation of sources in detail has turned out to be key in ensuring an appreciation and differentiation of the diversity of resources available online. This helps eliminate unintended plagiarism (which we evaluate using Turnintin) and facilitates an understanding of scholarship.
Other basics which require exploration are Creative Commons for use of digital resources, Wikipedia as a jump start rather than a primary resource, the quick way to invoke NUS Digital Library access to journals and the basics of email etiquette.
While our writing workshops were initiated to emphasise the critical basics of clear and effective writing, a critical component will be digital skills.

Technology to Personalize Learning for Gifted KidsBrian Housand

Since the dawn of the computer revolution, the promise of PERSONAL Computing has been ever present. Yet, when we simply leave gifted kids to their own devices, technology can serve to depersonalize their experiences. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal and meaningful for today’s connected gifted students.
12 Traits of Tech Elevated Educators #ucet15Vicki Davis

Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

I'll never forget this guy! I competed
against him in forensics (speech and
debate) back in high school in 1994
when he was just 15! " His talent was
obvious even then--he won every
competition he entered. I always
wondered if he'd hit it big one day.
Very nice, humble guy too.
