Curriculum and Technology

Alan November discusses four things students should learn about technology:

1. Global empathy
2. Social and ethical responsibility on the web
3. The permanence of information posted online
4. Critical thinking about the information found online

I enjoyed the article and agreed with him on many points, especially about teaching students of the permanence of information posted online.  I do think that many students do not realize the web is archived every few days.  That is definitely something that needs to be taught and emphasized to students.  I think that next year I will do an exercise similar to the one November describes in the article to show students how "deleted" items are not truly deleted.
