" My students and I created our own AUP...Lani,<br />" My students and I created our own AUP (we were on the Web prior to a district created one), had significant meaningful discussions on expectations of Web use for learning, and incredible travels in learning with our mutual understandings. And a teachable moment when someone pushed the boundaries-- once." <br /><br />Meaningful discussions, incredible travels in learning, teachable moments...These would seem to be learning that sticks as it is authentic and relevant. It's not only facilitating critical thinking skills, but also encouraging the use of common sense. There is a video and lesson on Common Sense Media focusing on evaluating websites (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/videos/using-critical-thinking-to-find-trustworthy-websites). There's a similar one on ReadWriteThink (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/hoax-hoax-strategies-online-1135.html?tab=3). How will learners ever know how to navigate the web if they are not provided with experiences to do so?<br /><br />The example you shared about not being able to access the audio file is disheartening as it sounds like something was "sticky," really struck an emotional chord in the learning. <br /><br />You, my friend and colleague, are a real trail blazer. Fifteen years ago this was not even a possibility to discuss in most places. Amy Musonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947029886693480934noreply@blogger.com
