Janet's ISTE conference notes:

Monday 8:30 TED.COM great education website. Book: Here comes everybody Blog about things that are important to you. Environmental issues, political issues, etc. Just write about passions. Be part of something bigger than ourselves Connecting with adults around the world...not a bad thing. The do not understand skills and literacies that go along with the skills needed to learn and interact. We need to learn to interact with strangers. (Break the basic parent commandment!)

Books Blessed Unrest - Paul Hawken Ecological Intelligence - Daniel Goleman (understanding the entire chain it takes to get a product to you) Autor Clay Shirkley (Didn't get the name of the book!) Tribes - Seth Godin (We have everything we need to build something bigger that ourselves)

The most terrifying video you will ever see youtube video A book - What;s the worst that an happen (Global Warming) Teach them to use social tools to become activists.

Example of a child blog...25 days to make a difference.

Ryan's Well...another child finds way to create wells in Africa.

This cannot be a "unit" It must be taught all year, every year.

NCTE are changing the literacies standards. We are not even close to reaching these.

Polarization - there are two truths. Is there global warming or not? When we were growing up, the truth came from Walter Cronkite. We now must all be Walter Cronkite!

On Wikipedia check the discussion tab. This is where people are trying to figure out what is truth.

 * Crap Detection 101: Educator call to action

If a website doesn't have an author, then be skeptical Whois website to find the authors. Example: Hitler, Martin Luther King.org, Free on-line pregnancy test, Pacific northwest tree octopus [|easywhois.com] to find out who owns the site if there is no author listed.

An article to read http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/rheingold/detail?blogid=108&entry_id=42805 Teaching a student to use the internet while there are firewalls up is like teaching a student to drive without traffic. Again...we need to teach kids to be responsible on the internet and sheltering them is not the way to do this.
