Information Is Forever in Formation, Knowledge Is the Knower: Global Connectivity in K-12 Classrooms.
Harris, Judith B.
Computers in the Schools, v12 n1-2 p11-22 1996
The belief that "global connectivity" can bring knowledge to students and teachers is mistaken. The Internet provides only information. Students must learn how to manage, analyze, critique, cross-reference, and transform information into usable knowledge. One approach to teaching these constructivist processes is to think of students as free-range "infoseekers" and to provide exploration in authentic contexts. (PEN)
