I thought this was a very interesting quote from the article about Wikipedia:   teaching kids how to critically analyze information sources is an increasingly valuable skill in an information economy.


Such a giant leap for my students, as they are used to memorizing what they have been taught and then regurgitating it.

Getting caught up

Well, I really understand how the participants feel when they get behind, because I'm there now.  I have had a hangout with Sirpa, and have been in touch with my team, however I've not posted here and I've not logged into Moodle for a week and a half now.  I need to get caught up!

So far, I only have one person who appears to be behind, and from all indications, is not planning to try to catch up.  1 out of 6 isn't too bad.  I can live with that rate of in completes.  Ideally it would be 0%, but this person isn't even responding to emails, so I guess that speaks for him.  Otherwise, the other team members are keeping up just fine.
