		<description><![CDATA[Not too long ago we were asked to worry if Google was making us stupid. Too much scanning, too little substance; hyperactive, multi-tasking minds that have lost the ability for deep reading and thinking. Yes, I have days like that, but honestly, I think it started long before Google and Web 2.0. Nevertheless, point taken.

		<description><![CDATA[I joined the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course, described as a &#8220;rather large open online course&#8221; with hundreds of participants worldwide.  I had the intention of actively participating, but soon became overwhelmed, downgrading myself to lurking and snatching a few tidbits from their daily newsletter. This reminded me of a post on Zen Habits [...]]]></description>

While I have seen some glaring examples of plagiarism in my classes, I am still conflicted about the Turnitin process.

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post on alleged generational differences, I concluded by saying we as educators should pay less attention to generations and more attention to both traditional and digital literacy. A recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education resonated with me, and seems to reinforce this approach. We can not turn back the clock [...]]]></description>

I am alternately fascinated and frustrated by the whole &#8220;digital native/digital immigrant,&#8221; Net-Gen discussion. Prensky is probably the most well-known proponent of this digital generation idea, suggesting that &#8220;today&#8217;s students think and process information fundamentally differently than their predecessors.&#8221; New books continue the emerge, and I dare say we have all sat through many [...]]]></description>
