started looking for people that knew they were talking about
make it clear in beginning - very interested in learning from them
how can you pluck the answer to any question in the air - how do you know what you find is accurate
textual literacy - knowing how to read and write
social literacy - work with others
attention
participation
cooperation
critical consumption
network awareness
all need to work together...
not really taught in schools.. not things that the students aren't teaching each other
got term from hemingway
what every journalist needs is a full proof internal crap detector
infoseek
his daughter at 11 (14 yrs ago) started searching web for papers in school - and that concerned him - the accuracy piece

wiki space to compile resources for crap detection
internal:
the person who knows how to determine crap detection - will do better in school
if you have a disease - people will go online - and that is mixed with the best up to date info - but also mixed with a bunch of bad info
external:
to believe what others send you or not

trying to determine the beginning of understanding
having a filtered version of the web at school is like teaching kids to drive via slideshow
young students are shifting values from parents to peers - they now have a better way to do this in public
we have an opportunity
the ability to learn without a teacher has been magnified - and facilitating that is now key
most students don't know how to check the history or debates in wikipedia until you show them
use wikipedia as a tool to find out the bad things about wikipedia
in youtube
how to ____
youtube doesn't expose process by which things happen
what is readiness
behavior causes schools to shut down access to fb
no doubt - having a laptop is a seductive distraction
backchannel, fb, all have that potential
