This post touches on a number of key issues centred around the question of how best to help students get good results from their web searches. Direct instruction? "I don't care about the kind of learning research that is based on an increase in student 'retention of information' or an increase of 'test scores'," writes Cormier. But if "I'm moving 'getting stuff from the Internet in effective and ethical ways' up my list to 'core literacy'" then what's the best way to do it? Does what I'm calling it help or hinder my ambition? "If everyone else calls it prompt engineering and I don't, then participants wont be able to follow up with other research." Hmm. But "I do worry, however, about the implication of the word engineering." P.S. I wonder how many educators are still using Twitter, despite everything.
