Will Richardson session "8 Shifts for Every Classroom (and Every Learner)

NETS*S: 1-4; NETS*T: 1-3, 5
"New learning literacies can't be taught as separate skills. They must be an integral part of every course we teach."

This was probably the BEST presentation I went to at ISTE!! I'll write more about it later.
The presentation can be seen here bit.ly/wriste11

Some of the best quotes from were:

According to the current definition of literacy by the National Council of Teachers of English, 98% of our graduating seniors are illeteriate!!!

21st Century readers and writers need to be able to "manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information."

"It's not a matter of information overload; it's 'filter failure.'"
--Clay Shirky
