Notes on Contemporary Literacy in the New Information Landscape
Presenter: David Warlick, The Landmark Project
Lots to think about...Warlick has been writing quite a bit about the changing nature of information. This was interesting and here are a few points:
On reading:
- FIND IT: in the digital network landscape
- DECODE IT: regardless of the format
- EVALUATE IT: determine its value
- ORGANIZE IT: create personal digital libraries
Reading is now "exposing"
Arithmetic is now "employing"
Writing is "expressing"
Stop teaching to ASSUME authority; instead teach students to PROVE authority
On Wikipedia vs. traditional sources:
- Who's more reliable - the source that warns you that it might not be true or the one who is protecting its reputation?

Stop integrating technology - integrate LITERACY
Know 2 things:
- We're preparing students for an unpredictable future
- Nature of information has changed
We need to teach and learn LITERACY
