Even though in my last post<\/a> I talked about how the learning process of being involved in Cohort 21 was enough<\/em>, I’m going to be using some of what I learn though my Cohort readings and endeavours to support a project I must undertake over the course of this year as part of the\u00a0Folio Collaborative<\/a>. After delving into some articles that were shared by the folks I follow on Twitter and on Diigo, and attending\u00a0Clive Thompson<\/a>‘s talk the week after our first Cohort Face to Face where he touched on a couple of things that have been on my mind for a while, I’ve really been thinking about the whole “digital native” concept and about how to teach digital citizenship. I attended a talk at Social Media Week Toronto 2013 called The Digital Classroom<\/a> where one of the panellists suggested that the old “technology” class is obsolete and that technology should be integrated into all subjects. I couldn’t agree more. \u00a0 Here are some of the tweets I sent after Clive’s talk (ironically there was no cell phone service in the room he presented in!)<\/p>\n

#styt<\/a> Students need digital tools taught to them so they can use them correctly and thoughtfully @pomeranian99<\/a> , SO important!<\/p>\n
