To know something is to be familiar and flexible with it...]]> 2022-01-26 00:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012413507 Knowledge is information about something, whether it's a person, item, skill. I think you as a person decide what counts as knowledge. javillac https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012413531 2022-01-26 00:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012413531 https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414361 Knowledge is information that someone has obtain. Knowing something means you have the understanding of something. I think you should decide what counts as knowledge for yourself.]]> 2022-01-26 00:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414361 https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414545 Knowledge is having the power to convey information in a clear and concise way. I would go so far as to say one who is knowledgeable is able to influence others. I suppose that influence ties in with knowing something because the individual is able to apply what they know in a meaningful and efficient way. After some of our readings this week, it is clear that the majority of the time it is those around us (teachers, parents, politicians, etc) who decide what counts as knowledge. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414545 What does it mean to know something? anitasundraniuh https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414645 You can demonstrate your learnings through application. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414645 Knowledge is a theoretical or practical understanding of some thing, subject, emotion, place, person, or skill. colesofiajean https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414761 2022-01-26 00:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414761 Knowledge is power. How you apply the knowledge shows you know something. You do. https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414879 2022-01-26 00:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012414879 drbecerr https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415156 I believe knowledge is something that you learn and are able to retain accurately. When you have knowledge of something, you should be able to easily share the idea, skill, or understanding. Knowledge is decided if you can provide evidence to your reasoning.]]> 2022-01-26 00:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415156 knowledge is a concept that describes how "intelligent" someone is. knowledge is expressed and obtained through problem-solving, asking critical questions (aka learning) and most importantly goes beyond memorization of facts. To know something means to have it stored in your brain's long term memory, and to understand when to use it. https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415175 Who decides what counts? Officially there is an IQ test that determines intelligence levels, but many studies show that this assessment has a history of being blatantly racist. In the classroom, students consider a peer "smart" when that peer does not need any help. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415175 https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415367 Knowledge to me is familiarity of an idea/concept and feel at ease to communicate that idea/concept

To know something depends on the context and is personal. In a professional setting, to know something is to have competency in that thing that counts towards a desired outcome that the professional setting is striving to achieve. 

Who decides what counts? While one can argue nobody but you (or me) decide what counts, in practice it depends on the situation where you want to use the knowledge. There could be protocols or standards that sets the rule of the game - which themselves can evolve, but one has to go through them to make the knowledge count towards an outcome that system is striving for. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415367 https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415705 There are different types of knowledge, and the idea of what knowledge is is constantly changing and evolving. This is what makes this question difficult to answer quickly and concisely.

"To know something" differs from person to person. One may know something but not truly understand.
As an individual, you, decide what counts as knowledge. Another person may have their own version of knowledge based on their experiences.]]> 2022-01-26 00:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012415788 Who decides what counts as knowledge? anitasundraniuh https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012416040 This probably depends on the environment you're in. In certain settings, it may be someone older than you (e.g., parents, teacher, older sibling). In others, knowledge can be co-constructed and may differ from group to group.]]> 2022-01-26 00:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012416040 Learned information, behaviors, skills. https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012416771 2022-01-26 00:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012416771 https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012418861 I also think, to an extent, society as a whole decides what counts as knowledge, and how important or valuable that knowledge is. ]]> 2022-01-26 00:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012418861 A realistic answer to who decides what counts as knowledge would be policy makers and the dominant culture. However, I think knowledge is any idea, understanding, skill that an individual holds. colesofiajean https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012419948 2022-01-26 00:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012419948 Who decides what counts as knowledge? https://padlet.com/tweiland1/6nee06eudgzc1tfe/wish/2012420089 Family members, peers, researchers, leaders, those who report the information
