Unfortunately that's where most people live and breath these days. I think with the rise of fake news as Sharon pointed to and people believing even the most preposterous because it was online figuring out how to help students weed out what isn't actually scholarly will be the next challenge.

Social scholarship will work great for the younger crowd, but the older students will need much more investment than just a lesson in social media. They also need to understand the purpose, why it's better or comparable to what they already know. I get this resistance already from them when I introduce either a new methodology that is different from what they know or even new technology itself. Sun, 08 Jan 2017 21:17:13 -0500
