Enticing the Google Generation: Web 2.0, social networking and university students

I just picked up a post on this article by Philip Kent on Peter Godwin’s blog Agreeing with the CIBER Report, Kent emphasises that many authors overemphasise the impact of ICTs on young people and underestimate the effect on older generations. However, he also makes the point that we need to do more in schools to develop information literacy as by the time students reach university they are entrenched in Google and it’s “almost too late”
Anyway, I’m carrying on with adding some of the refs I find to my Refshare database and have now added a link to the database at the left of the main blog posts.
