Interesante link. Nos aproxima al concepto de alfabetización digital, entendiendo que nos encontramos en un contexto multimodal que confluye en la multialfabetización (aunque aquí solo comentemos la alfabetización digital). Ahora el alumnado alfabetizado no solo debe aprender a leer o a escribir, sino que se amplia el concepto incluyendo la comprensión del contenido, la evaluación y la comunicación con este. Se trata de un aspecto es clave para desarrollar las habilidades necesarias de la sociedad digital.
"Statements of and advocacy for interculturalism always seems to begin with a critique of multiculturalism and aspire to offer a new and alternative paradigm of diversity and citizenship. With particular reference to a recent publication, which marks the current state of the art debate between the two ‘isms’, I suggest that the critique is often not based on an engagement with multiculturalist authors but targets popular (mis)perceptions of multiculturalism."

Superlatives, aside, you don’t need to know which one is “best.” You need to know which will help you accomplish your [...]

"As a full time doctoral student, iPad is my number 1 companion. I use it for a wide variety of educational purposes but mainly for reading. I have been experimenting with various apps and the visual below features what I believe are some of the most useful apps university/ college students should definitely try ..."
As our access to knowledge has expanded, so have our outlandish predictions for how we will learn in the future. Few educational experts would have scored an A+ when it came to their starry-eyed prophecies about the classrooms of tomorrow: We still haven’t worked out how to beam books into our brains, but at least electrical-stimulation therapy hasn’t become commonplace in classrooms.
As part of What Happens Next, our special project exploring the far-off future of the global economy, we looked at how the thinkers of the past thought we’d be educating the people of today. Their predictions remind us that the future is not as certain as we think.

On social media, I’ve seen an uptick in professors’ complaints about their students. Recently, I read a thread on a social-media site that minimized a student’s struggles because she had asked for an extension on a deadline. Faculty members castigated her and welcomed her to “the real world.” One suggested how to avoid dealing with her. Are we serious? If we don’t understand students’ real-world dilemmas, what are we doing teaching?
"The practice of democracy is not passed down through the gene pool. It must be taught and learned anew by each generation of citizens." -- Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
t's...Reading names at commencement isn't as simple as it seems. Walking across the stage and accepting their diploma is the final step in a student's....
""And every year, those of us who speak and those of us who hear the names are witnesses in this most profound of rituals: an affirmation by our students about what they are to be called, and who they are called to be."
Dean Behling's practice of inviting seniors to help her pronounce their names correctly at Commencement -- by setting "up shop in the campus snack bar several hours each week, with a list" from the Registrar of who would be graduating -- demonstrates the value that a school places on education. A person's correct name, including the correct pronunciation of it is a most important commodity, which should not be taken lightly.
Often, there are instances in multicultural education that teachers are flat-out not ready for. Situations that can arise teaching low-income or students of color become
We may speak a few different languages (and teach a few different languages), but no matter how hard we try, we teachers will never be fully fluent in student slang.
Words that meant one thing yesterday can suddenly mean something totally different tomorrow. And words that weren’t even words last week are suddenly flying off every student’s tongue. By the time you define one list of terms, you’re already behind. But it doesn’t hurt to try.
Take our quiz to see how well you know today’s student slang before it becomes tomorrow’s “nobody says that anymore.”

A classic essay from one of the Internet’s pioneers suggests that there is a way to harness negative energy from the online world and disagree with people without invoking anger—a lesson that extends far beyond the web.
