‘I just type it into Google and see what comes up.’
(UKS2)
‘I always stick with thefirst thing that comes up on Google because I think that’s the most popular site which means that’s the most correct.’
(USS1)
‘I knew that the internet wouldn’t give me a wrong answer.’

Information-seeking cycle
‘I simply just type it into Google and just see what comes up’

UKU3
?
Contact
Email vs IM
‘My email is also like the most important way of contacting people, especially through the school...’
(USU7 )
The power of convenience
Agency
Convergence“Google doesn’t judge me” (UKF3)
People
‘Oh, definitely one of my teachers just being able to appear, definitely. Just to be able to have maybe a professor or someone that is an expert in that area, and just for them to be there when I want them to, so that if I don’t get something they can explain it to me. Because that’s the other thing, it’s more verbal communication that I find easier, so not always the website, although I do usually use the internet it’s not my preferred choice.’
(UKS4)
Questions?
Open Answer Resources
Do you think education is about the 'answers' themselves or the process of getting to those answers?
A: Answers
B: The process of getting to those answers.
Sources
‘Freely available tertiary literature, accessibly and neutrally summarised from reliable secondary and primary sources, in an ongoing process of good faith collaboration involving both experts and non-experts.’
(Martin Poulter of Wikimedia)
‘The problem with Wikipedia is it’s too easy. You can go to Wikipedia, you can get an answer, you don’t actually learn anything, you just get an answer.’
(USU6 – quoting a teacher)
‘Perfect thing, I think it would be that all the useful, accurate, reliable information would like glow a different colour or something so I could tell without wasting my time going through all of them’
(UKS2)
Education is about questions
The web is about answers
‘Do they actually fail you?’
‘They don’t fail you but you get ridiculed in front of everyone for sourcing Wikipedia.’
