I want to know more about this red table talk 😂

This reminds me of how we are being moved as teachers to get out what we need to teach quickly for studies have shown that the first 5 minutes of instruction is all that they hear!

People are so passive and always have been. Now it's more complex and "joe schmoe" can have 80k followers and endorsements, despite not being an expert in anything. We need critical thinkers who actively engage with information!

Pocket points!!  Yes - so cool!!!

Question: Do we dare change our views on active reading in the classroom, and cater to their strengths in communicating and working together through social media and online videos? (Paragraph 9/10: speak in sound bites...)

There use to be etiquette rules but no such thing exists for technology use. I understand the antiquated notions of "gentleman" and "lady", but what would be courteous and civil when it comes to tech use? Can we agree on a few things?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that some students are wanting to find a method of studying, staying focused and staying off their phones.

I think that kids don’t know how to navigate life without technology.  Think about how savvy toddlers are with tech these days.  They are pretty much born with technology in hand.  Also I think their brain has not formed the kind of self regulation necessary to control their use

Paragraph 13..."We need to detach a bit from the false promises of a technologically savvy world." I don't think we need to detach, we need to learn how to embrace it, and use it to our advantage to continue to develop those critical thinking skills. Technology isn't all surface level.

How has easy access to information through technology affected student work ethic? Paragraph 5 - "USA Today and The New York Times started delivering free papers to college student, hoping to lure their readership. Students rarely picked them up. They were a chore".

Pocket Points is an app that allows teachers to issue points for students to gain points for however many minutes they go without using their phones during class.

If cell phone use can become an addiction, what will happen to one to one communication?

Comment:  Just "Googling" does not lead to understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the goal should be to fight societal changes that are inevitable...like, the railroads didn't like it when airplanes came out, but change was inevitable...the point should be to make kids know where to get credible information, not just dumb headlines thoughts from social media

From para 7 Few of us have the patience to read full articles. So how can we solve this?

Open Ended Question: How can we get students engaged in reading current events? (Paragraph 5)

# data[].attributes.body
Comment: (Based off of the title: Instant Info Is Making Us Less Informed and Less Thoughtful) A coworker of mine read an article that said people are the MOST confident of knowing what they know when they first see information posted/delivered/reported. If they choose to dig deeper into the subject, they lose their confidence about what they know. It reminds me of news sources delivering information that might not be accurate, but the readers see the initial info and feel that they know EVERYTHING about it.

How can we Promote a deeper look into issues so that more Americans necome active participants in our countries issues?
(Paragraph 12: “we need critical thinking to really understand an issue, hoe movements grow and how legislation is passed.”)

Question: How might we increase student reading stamina to aide in their ability to stick with it through longer texts?

This seems like a bleak outlook on society

Open Ended Question: Why do you think technology is making us less informed and less thoughtful? (From Paragraph 3...Information is instantaneous.)

I can relate to the restaurant comment in par. 12

Question: How can I teach my students that detaching from their phone can lead to more awareness of the world around them? (paragraph 13)

How can we going to change our teaching to incorporate critical thinking skills when we are driven by today's quick, trivial facts that are "Googled" at our fingertips?  Kids don't want to think they want to get a quick answer and go on.  Paragraphs 4-6.  Is there a way to change our ways and still intrigue our students' learning?

How do we help students understand how to use technology for A TRUE ACADEMIC PURPOSE - not just to turn assignments in or find/learn trivial information?

How has easy access to information through technology affected student work ethic?

Paragraph 9 mentions how the brevity of online platforms (tweets) leads to a lack of critical thinking. My question is: is this necessarily true for all mediums of digital technology? Is there a way to leverage technology into strengthening critical thinking skills?

Why do “intellectuals” think that we peons are idiots that reliant on our devices?
"We fail to learn even the most rudimentary knowledge of neighborhoods, much less understand where main thoroughfares are in relation to a street two blocks away.”

No, buddy, YOU fail to learn.  Not WE.

HI

DeWerth observes that instantaneous access to information has made us myopic and shallow in our understanding of the world. We now prefer "one-liners" to gain a sense of complex social/economic/political issues.  When he offers solutions by "detaching", I can't help but note how prescriptive it seems, and still speaks to the shallowness of the audience he is targeting. If consumers do not know how to question the effectiveness of their behaviors, even if they follow his prescription of "walking in the woods" or "reading a novel", I fear this same person will take a picture of their action and make sure to post on their favorite social media site. The only way to change this is for a genuine self awareness that needs to be taught everywhere, like at school, places of spiritual growth and most importantly, in the family. To be fair though, a one page article is a good first step.

Hello

# data[].attributes.body
How can we get our students to see the value of forgoing the phone to interact with their peers and family on a more meaningful level? (p 12)

# data[].attributes.body
In paragraph 3 the article commented on instantaneous information and it making us less informed and less thoughtful and introspective. I agree, but how can we as educators make a major impact on our students when the home influence, parents included, is dominant and rampant?
