    2. (1) reading to identify important questions, (2) reading to locate information, (3) reading to evaluate information criti-cally, (4) reading to synthesize information, and (5) reading and writing to communicate information.

      The 5 processing practices that occur during online research and comprehension

    3. Some believe there is little to teach; our students are already “digital natives,” skilled in online literacies

      Although kids these days are well aware of how to navigate the internet/ technology, it is often obvious that students are not "digital natives" in areas such as research and comprehension. This is why it is so important that as future educators we deliberately teach online reading and research skills to our students. This will only open a whole new door of possibilities in regards to student success with both online reading comprehension and integration of technology in their daily studies.

    4. Most importantly, it is reshap-ing the nature of literacy education, providing us with many new and exciting opportunities for our classrooms

      It's crazy how many opportunities technology/ internet provide! Allowing us to collaborate with peers, improving our reading & researching skills as well as being able to learn on our own outside of the classroom

      The 5 phases of Internet Inquiry Projects include: 1) identifying interest 2) engaging in OCI 3) critically evaluating online info 4) synthesizing what's been learned 5) engaging in OCC

    1. An Approach to Thinking About Technology Integration
    2. At the heart of good teaching with technology are three core components: content, pedagogy, and technology, plus the relationships among and between them. The interactions between and among the three components, playing out differently across diverse contexts, account for the wide variations seen in the extent and quality of educational technology integration. These three knowledge bases (content, pedagogy, and technology) form the core of the technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) framework.
    1. Connected learning is realized when a young person is able to pursue a personal interest or passion with the support of friends and caring adults, and is in turn able to link this learning and interest to academic achievement, career success or civic engagement.

      Finding a personal interest and being supported by peers is so important and helps to keep that personal drive alive. Being able to link that with becoming academically-oriented is also just as important.

    1. Traditional education is failing to engage many students as they enter their middle school, high school, and college years. The culture clash between formal education and interest-driven, out-of-school learning is escalating in today’s world

      Very true about the culture clash between formal education and interest-driven, out-of-school learning. Kids these days are already so used to using technology from day to day, but unfortunately they come across as more of a distraction than an amazing tool that puts learning at our fingertips. A student's interest in something is what inspires them to gain further insight and knowledge. Integrating technology in and out of the classroom can help to inspire students to stay involved in learning on their own, as well as in the classroom.

    2. Connected learning is when someone is pursuing a personal interest with the support of peers, mentors and caring adults, and in ways that open up opportunities for them. It is a fundamentally different mode of learning than education centered on fixed subjects, one-to-many instruction, and standardized testing.

      Connected learning is more of an approach to education, not so much a learning theory.
