I remember before when Google is not in existence, it's really hard to look even for simple information. But now, it's a different story. Your just one click away to almost every information that you were looking for. The challenge for the teachers are a bit hard, to think that you're competing with Google who knows almost everything about anything. I think that if there's anything that we can teach to others that's not on Google, that might be the unique things that every persons possessed. I'm referring to the knowledge that you gained through your experienced. You can teach that to anyone who's willing to learn. I'm sure that if you search to Google the experiences that i have, you may find something but your not gonna see everything.

I think there's much difference to find the answers before this computer / online age. Before we really need to see that book, or ask the person and put them in, piece by piece before arriving at an answer, but today, you can simply type a keyword / s, then Viola! The answer is right in front of you. This means that the data analysis process and the return journey, people are stronger now.

I usually do research on Google for lots of trivia that I can tell my friends and family, then eventually they're impressed with what I'm saying.

I think that there are so much difference on finding answers from before to this computer/online age. Before, we need to really look it up on a book, or ask a person and put them piece by piece before arriving an answer, but today, you can just type in a certain keyword/s then viola! the answer is right in front of you. This means that the knowledge process and analysis of the people way back are stronger than now.

It's really a great job to 'help students find the right information and use it effectively to solve problems'.

I agree this is a fundamental shift that educators are dealing with and forcing us to rethink a whole whack of current practice (not the least of which is assessment).

I really like the concept of an “outboard brain”, coined by Cory Doctorow. He was speaking specifically about his blog being his outboard brain, but others have picked up and expanded on it to include the web and, increasingly, the devices we use to connect to the web. Clive Thompson at Wired wrote an interesting article about his outboard brain in an article he wrote in 2007 (Your Outboard Brain Knows All http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/15...). The line he used that I like is “the line between where my memory leaves off and Google picks up is getting blurrier by the second.”

Agreed–there is a good deal of domain specific knowledge that an expert or practitioner should be able to recall and use at will. However, the amount of knowledge even within a domain (e.g., the drug interactions a doctor should know about) is massive enough that some reliance on Google-like machines for memory assistance is not only inevitable but desirable. This is even more true for the layperson who only occasionally has need to recall and use facts to complete a particular task.
