Chapter 7

Chapter 7 illustrates very well the 21st century skill of knowing how to navigate all of the information that is available for students. The one statistic that is astounding to me is the one that states that more information has been produced in the last 30 years than in the previous 5000 years. We truly are living in the information age.
Teaching students to be critical researchers/thinkers is not more necessary than ever. The process of being an information user is not linear. Nor can it be expected that teaching students in a linear fashion will yield the best results.
Something that stuck out to me was the concept of the WebQuest and integrating that into classroom learning. Being able to design learning opportunities that bring the whole process of teaching students to become effective users of information is both challenging, but also super engaging/effective for the students.
