@MareBar711 The hurdles and obstacles I had to conquer to bring in "cyber security/internet basics" was unbelievable. Took nearly a year and a half to have the curriculum approved. They didn't feel this was essential to the field of "technology" which I teach.

@MareBar711 Its amazing that you bring up the clicking scrolling ect. It describes learning styles all in one. "Kinesthetic, visual, and audio (if they use the tools provided within google)"

Feedback is a very powerful peace within the education system. It was great to read the statement "Ongoing cycles of feedback". It should be noted that educators need to be instructed on how feedback should be given.

I would to see "gaming" to be incorporated into learning in the classroom to truly be able to determine if "deeper learning" can: 1. Take place at all. 2. Deeper learning can be conquered within the classroom using gaming procedures

"Involve bringing technology, knowledge, and skills together within contexts of social purpose". Amazing how many times "social" continues to be brought up in this article

"The importance of professional development".... there are plenty of opportunities for teachers to be educated, however, willingness is minimal.

Internet cyber security needs to be an accepted, implemented and assessed within our curriculum. We have given our students the world at their fingertips and asked them to swim with the sharks while wearing t-bone steaks.

@joyfulledtech You raise a great point, however, as we continue to place individuals into power with little teaching background not much change will be done for Frontline workers who have the knowledge of student direct needs.

Through much reading the same phrase continues to arise: "Cultural Shifts". Why is this so difficult? What causes teacher to not adjust with "the times"? Do we need to review our educational courses taught at the college level to include an "evolution" course

"The hybridization of literacy practices using digital tools occurs organically, typically in "voluntary spaces of participation", where users are not required to reproduce historically reified textual conventions" #powerful

Is there belief that you can vertically align literacy methods into elective classes? If so what approach have you taken?

@DISBarker Thoughts on having all articles already in a folder for the readers to navigate to in hopes of reducing time spent locating and navigating relevant articles?

It is mentioned on page 25; "isolating each proposition, thinking it may take away from the richness of the data in its more holistic form". Do you think it skewed the data?

"Internet readers are called upon not only to construct meaningfrom text, but also to construct meaning through flexible and purposeful choices of relevant hyperlinks; icons, and interactive diagrams." How powerful!

"Readers with sufficient prior knowledge tend to make many more inferences than less knowledgeable readers in order to facilitate their comprehension of informational text". How can we facilitate sufficient prior knowledge for our youth?
