This list of words does not surprise me in the least. To be honest, I don't even find them original. The general concept of all of them could have been used/taught many years before the NML was even though of. They have all been taught within the classroom in some way, shape or form before new technologies started running rampart throughout the world. It's just that now students have new ways of being engaged in the classroom through technology so they way to teach these things has to change.
In the video clip judgment was basically defined as deciding whether or not a source found electronically is legitimate or not. I think this has always been an issue for students. Finding and deciding if a source is reliable has always been apart of the learning experience. Before computers came about students still had to read things and analyze them in order to decide if certain sources were beneficial to their purpose. For example, if a high school student was trying to find a book at the library on outer space he/she would have to take the call number into account. The book in the junior non fiction section will not be as useful to them as the ones in the adult non fiction section.
Overall the most important question for me is 'What will all these words mean to me as a teacher twenty years from now?'
Excellent post!
