Description
In the last five years, a new digital economy has risen, where creative information artisans from across the globe are producing media products and marketing them through a new digital bazaar. The challenge for professional educators is to answer the question, "What are the basic skills in this information driven age, and how do we teach them?" This book helps educators to understand how information has become the raw material of the 21st century, and that there are powerful ways that teachers can harness these digital resources for teaching and learning -- for preparing children for the 21st century. This 4th edition of Raw Materials for the Mind adds a wealth of information about RSS syndication, blogging, social software, wikis, and many more new developments in the world of e-learning.
