content used to be king - now what?
DESCRIPTION
There was a time when content was king and the teacher was the sage on the stage. Now communication is the new curriculum and network connections drive deep learning and knowledge creation. The era of collaborating, communicating, and integrating resources flexibly and online is here to stay. Massive change has pushed us into a 21st century information maze.Searching to recognize, categorize, and evaluate good-quality, authoritative, and relevant information is a crucial digital information literacy skill.What are the implications of this? We can't answer questions effectively about information access and usability without taking into consideration the shifting dimensions of interoperability (from one database or data set to another) and semantic search.What does the 21st century web offer us? What is the relevance of linked data and semantic search and how might this affect our information seeking, and learning/teaching strategies?TRANSCRIPT

21st century developments
Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed. Horizon Report 2010 K-12 Edition
Collaborative environments give students tremendous
opportunities to interact with peers and mentors, experience other world views, and model the kinds of work patterns that take place in an increasing number of professions.
Cloud computing has transformed the way we think about
computing and communication, data storage and access, and collaborative work. Cloud-based applications and services help students engage in real research and participate in global learning communities.
