Part of my professional development goal this year is to look at information literacy and how it relates to the “digital natives” I have as students. I’ve been pondering reading things like Born Digital and The Dumbest Generation, but I’ve recently discovered a couple of Chronicle of Higher Education articles on the role of a liberal education in an increasingly digitized world.
On Stupidity: Part One
http://chronicle.com/jobs/news/2008/08/2008080101c.htm
The author looks at the anti-intellectualism of Americans, amplified by the new “democratization” of information, through the lens of recently published books on the topic and on his personal experiences in the classroom.
On Stupidity: Part Two

The author ponders teaching digital natives.
