"Knowledge does not specifically appear in the above diagram. Does this mean that we do not teach content or knowledge? // **Of course not** // . While a goal we often hear is for our students to create knowledge, we must scaffold and support this constructivist process"

Fluency appears mid-page. http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/21st+Century+Pedagogy#So what is 21st Century pedagogy?-Fluency Aim is to be unconsciously competent (image from Churches). Compare to language learning.



Conscious Competence http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Conscious+Competence+Model Based on ideas originally developed by Gordon Training []


 * Unconscious incompetence** - don't know what you don't know. Can be comfortable as unaware
 * Conscious incompetence** - Uncomfortable. Aware need to learn something new and of their own lack of skills. Even when lacking skills teacher can (based on their own prior knowledge and experience) see how to apply which students or more proficient may not. Moving from here to conscious competence is the goal of most training rooms
 * Conscious competence** - learner has a degree of understanding but needs to think about task. This is literacy. Compared it with using a second language, CC can use second language but need to actively think how to say what they want
 * Unconscious competence** - Skill or technique is ingrained and automatic. Best achieved by practice or repetition. May be hard to explain to others as innate

http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/Bloom%27s+and+ICT+tools Blooms & ICT - maps tools and activities to levels of Bloom's taxonomy
 * "Bloom's Digital Taxonomy ** isn't about the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. Outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and ** most ** importantly the ** quality of the process or product ** . For example. Bookmarking a resource is of no value if the resource is inappropriate or worthless."
