What skills and information will students and professionals need to be successful in the coming decades?
Finding methods to more effectively manage research efforts and information sources is the challenge faced by 21st century educators. The technological and information landscape demands different problem-solving skills in order to access and manage information. Massive amounts of information and new technology are woven into students’ campus lives often without the critical capacity to understand the implications and the limitations of emerging information technologies.
The 21st Century Information Fluency Project uses the word “InfoWhelm” to describe the wealth of information at our fingertips. Dr. Michael Wesch from Kansas State University has a video titled, “Information R/Evolution” where he examines many of the assumptions about digital information. Dr. John Allen Paulos, Professor of Math at Temple University describes the internet as “the world’s largest library. It’s just that all of the books are on the floor.”
