Literacy 2.0

This video from Google is from the conference for Breakthrough Learning in a Digital Age with the focus in this video on Literacy 2.0.

The first 36 min. is about what's possible in education today, and how connecting formal learning with informal learning can help the students learn in their own pace. They also talk about the new form of literacy that is required in the digital age, like using and creating new visual information and finding the information you need.
The people from Google then talks about searching, saying "searching is learning", and how the internet have changed what we need to learn. Almost every piece of information is available through the internet, so people no longer need to know, but they need to differentiate the information and use it in a creative context.

After that the panel takes questions from the audience.
