EDR 425 Session 4 Carr and Google by Dr. Portman https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr Carr suggests, on p. 73: "In Google's world, the world we enter when we go online, there's little place for the fuzziness of contemplation" (2008). Do you believe this; why or why not? en-us 2016-09-18 12:15:04 UTC 2026-03-08 19:06:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Moderncam.png https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244579 I do believe this. Whenever I read an article online or am curious and just look something up, I find the answer to my question and am satisfied. I pay it no more thought after I have read it. Once it has been read, I am done with the information. I may remember a random fact I read later down the line but even that is fleeting and quickly leaves my mind.]]> 2016-09-20 21:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244579 I agree with this because with the click of a button we know the answer to any of our questions. although this is helpful sometimes it is not always good. Sometimes it would be better to think through our questions and contemplate our answers, because that will do us more good then just googling something. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244605 2016-09-20 21:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244605 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244607 I do believe that Google has taken away contemplation for certain questions that are inherently factual. When we are trying to figure out the definition of a word, we often no longer contemplate its meaning. Rather, we look up the word and immediately know the definition. However for more critical questions, such as the effects of Common Core State Standards on our nation's performance, the answer is not easy to find on Google. There is room for contemplation if we are willing to think deeper and critically to ask better questions. ]]> 2016-09-20 21:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244607 I do believe this is true because so many people rely on the internet for information. Looking things up on the internet is a lot faster than trying to figure out the answers yourself, or looking them up in a book, or even talking to someone about a topic. People are so quick to hop on the internet rather than going on an adventure to learn something knew. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244610 2016-09-20 21:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244610 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244615 I agree because there is so much out there to look at and search for that you almost always find the answer that you're looking for. Without the internet, this generation would be so different. I also feel that sometimes students get caught up in looking for the answer and not actually thinking about what the answer actually means. ]]> 2016-09-20 21:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244615 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244622 I believe this to be true just because we aren't thinking outside of the box. Our go to when we have a question is GOOGLE and at that point all we have to do is click a link and read about it. Granted we are free to interpret what we read how we want, but most people don't. They just believe what they see online and are done with it. ]]> 2016-09-20 21:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244622 I believe this is true because as we read on on the internet,it is easy to skim the article or source to find just what we are looking for. We take what we see and read and we are quick to believe and accept it. Questioning and critical thinking can sometimes get lost in the midst of immediacy.  https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244623 2016-09-20 21:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244623 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244649 I think that when people use Google to look for an answer to something, they don't often look further into it. However, I believe that Google has helped with contemplation. I've seen students in the classroom become more curious about things, and then using the tools available to them to find the answer to their question. Even though they might not look further into it, this is still allowing them to use technology to research a questions, and they are always able to research something more if they are interested in it. ]]> 2016-09-20 21:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244649 I think that when we go online we often get caught up in what we are reading and take what is written or said to be true. We don't go much deeper in our thoughts because someone has already done the thinking for us. Students often rely too heavily on the Internet to do their thinking for them. They immediately go online to find the answers instead of thinking on their own first. On the other hand, I often see things online that make me think. Anything I have an interest in I can look up and find more about it. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244672 2016-09-20 21:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244672 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244685 Contemplation means thinking deeply about something, or looking into it more. With that being said, I do agree that there's little place for contemplation in "Google's world". Everything is so quick and easy to look up, without putting any real thought into it. So much information is given to us, that we kinda don't have to think for ourselves.]]> 2016-09-20 21:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244685 I agree with this because when we look something up on google we don't take any time to actually think about the answer. It is right in front of us so we accept that as fact and move on. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244691 2016-09-20 21:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244691 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244714 I agree that google creates a very small place for contemplation. When I have a question or am just not sure about something I tend to instantly look it up instead of taking the time to figure it out myself. Google gives us access to many different website with detailed answers to our questions causing very little need to "waste time" finding the answers ourselves.]]> 2016-09-20 21:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244714 I do think that the internet takes away some of our need for critical thinking because so often all we have to do is type something into google, click on a link, and then skim an article for what we want to know. I very seldom find myself questioning any of these articles or reading multiple to try to dive deeper into a topic. I usually find the answer I am looking for as quickly as possible and moving on.  https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244745 2016-09-20 21:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244745 I am on the fence. I do believe that the online world is a place for contemplation, but depending on the person, are they in deep thought about what they are reading. I don't believe we use the internet to look at many things thoughtfully, maybe for leisure for half of the time. The other half is the mere sense of someone being taught and have the skill to utilize the online world for contemplation. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244760 2016-09-20 21:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244760 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244824 When i go on Google, i'm usually just there to find the answer to my question, which often doesn't require much searching at all. Rarely do I look very in depth when searching online]]> 2016-09-20 21:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244824 I can see how this could be true. Instead of thinking deeply about something, we just look it up. When we look it up and get our answer-we believe it to be true and take it as is. We don't think critically. However, I can also see why it would not be true. Sometimes we do think critically about what is written online or what is said. It may cause us to wonder or think more deeply about a  given matter. https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244855 2016-09-20 21:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244855 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244905 In one way I do not believe this, because when we read or discover something new we automatically wonder, infer and question. Though I believe that to be true , it is also true that if a question does arise in a readers head usually you sit contemplate it for a while.. But when you're on the internet your questions can be answered by the easy click of a button, rather than through inference.]]> 2016-09-20 21:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244905 Yes, I believe this statement because when I use google I don't go on to do research I go on to find the answers to my questions and I keep looking until I find the 'short version' and not the 'long version. t_stross22 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244936 2016-09-20 21:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244936 https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244987 I understand where this statement is coming from. I do find it possible to still have a deep level of contemplation even with using google as a resource. Yet, with the easy access to answers when using google, those levels of contemplation are often skipped. ]]> 2016-09-20 21:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tele1957/carr/wish/125244987
