Mike Caulfield: One of the primary things you're doing when you're reading on the internet is you're trying to decide if something's worth your attention or not. EdSurge: In the book you argue that one of the most important things to do when sorting through information online is what you call “critical ignoring.”

It has become a familiar argument between those who believe children intuitively learn to type (“see them on smartphones and iPads–they don’t need help”) and those of us who believe instruction makes them better, faster. This topic that is close to my tech teacher soul. Despite that feeling, there are options.

Another clever twist on the argument against keyboard training is that audio input will soon take over. Quickly the lesson becomes about learning slideshows rather than the Big Idea and Essential Question. It’s supposed to enhance learning, not distract from it. Those huzzah moments make learning fun.
