Content-shmontent! We need to teach skills more than we need to teach dates, names, and other silly factoids! Students can find answers to their questions using the internet and even social networking/collaborative web 2.0 apps. Why memorize it?
What we need to teach is how to construct meaningful questions, how to search effectively for information, how to work collaboratively, and how to use the information productively!
I fully agree with Mark Federman. We need, as educators, to move away from the 3Rs to the 4Cs: Connections, Context, Complexity and Connotations.
Can someone help me do that, please??
