How They Engage with LearningHow They Engage with Learning
James Hilton, writing about his son’s Leonardo da Vinci project:
As we worked together (on a Powerpoint), the thing that surprised me was how deeply he connected with the project. He asked enthusiastically: “How can I find another picture? How can I say somethingmore here?”…He connected with Leo in ways that had not happenedbefore and in ways that too rarely happen in the college classes I teach.I am simply not finding ways to take advantage of “rip, mix, and burn,”Nor are we in higher education embracing the potential for unbundlingthe ways we thing about scholarship - not just for student assignmentsbut for all kinds of scholarship.”EDUCAUSE Review March/April 2006

“Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our points of view with the rest of the world, not just people in our immediate environment.”

"Social networking sites like The Facebook are quickly blurring the line between online and real-world interactions. While most adults still separate their virtual existence from their real-world lives, college kids are increasingly living in both worlds at once.”
Erika Lewis, Carleton College studentfrom her Podcast script for a class "We Media:The Personal Media Revolution”http://www.people.carleton.edu/~lewiser/PodcastScript.htm
New Ways of Thinking about Teachers and LearnersNew Ways of Thinking about Teachers and Learners
“We strive to stay ahead of the technology curve in ways that often exhaust older generations. This drive to keep pace with current trends is not fueled by society’s ability to educate and teach thesetechnologies. Instead, we are a generation of learners by exploration.”Carrie Windham, student, Educating the Net Gen

“Since we know that students are spending more time insocial networking environments like MySpace and Facebook,building complex communities and sharing musings andopinions on everything…lets form a partnership with one ofthose companies to build a networking space focusing onthe information needs of students. Such a site could enabledialogue and collaboration among its users, discussion ofreadings, and creation of multimedia class projects.”Kate Wittenberg, CHE, June 16, 2006

Understanding Today’s StudentsUnderstanding Today’s Students“For as I read through article after article on the topic of academic librarianship, the prominent message is that today’s college students are lazy, procrastinating, plagiarizing patrons of the glut of information that has come to be known as the Internet.”
Christen Thompson, portal, 2003
