There was a lively discussion in the journal reading group this morning related to the article Why Professor Johny Can’t Read. The conversation varied far and wide and included an admission by Erik that he had not read the article prior to the meeting, and more insightful discussion on the place of vertical/horizaontal information consumption techniques.

The article discussed the reading/research/information consumption habits of “Net Gen” students and there was an interesting debate around whether or not these new learning habits were something new or just a new twist on the long held approaches to Constructivist learning and information seeking.

Kaeley stepped up to pick an article for the next reading group (On November 6) so come on out & talk in the ITC screening room – Perhaps we can all discuss our information seeking habits on election day!
