“ The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge – the search engine. Materializing answers from the air turns out to be the easy part - the part a machine can do. The real difficulty kicks in when you click down into your search results. At that point, it’s up to you to sort the accurate bits from the misinfo, disinfo, spam, scams, urban legends, and hoaxes. “Crap detection,” as Hemingway called it half a century ago, is more important than ever before, now that the automation of crapcasting has generated its own word: ‘spamming.’

Student Needs

budtheteacher:

“Our students need us to do more than nod. We need to think. Deeply.” - @skajder http://reasonstowrite.wordpress.com/

How true. The nod reminds me of Radar, when he was trying to impress a woman he was told to nod and say, ‘Ahh, Bach’ when she spoke of classical music.

Ah Bach

The nod to me = I don’t know what the heck I’m talking about. Sneaky.

My job is to teach students the appropriate response -> ‘What do you mean by Ah Bach?’
