Important Idea #6 and 7
Smartboard intro - basics that should have workedFind someone you haven’t worked with in class before and compare your ideas from the readings. You can use the following if you need to.
- Is Mander right about a ‘global conspiracy’ by corporations to run the earth? Does he over-glamourize indigenous cultures or are we not paying enough attention to them?
- Do you speak another language? Are there ideas or expressions that do not translate well? Does language limit how we think?
- Is Postman right that tech advantages are never distributed equally?
Tweet your best thoughts to #umtandt

The Brain!! Continuing from our discussion on Google making us stupid, what does the research on concentration, multitasking and brain development say to us? Share what you learned from the RWL with a group of three or 4 and report back to the large group. Choose one person to lead, one to record (paper or on our wiki), one to speak, and if you have 4 people, one ‘timekeeper’ to make sure everyone has a chance to speak. Link to group roles.
