adopt-a-word Each year hundreds of words are dropped from the English language.

Old words, wise words, hard-working words. Words that once led to meaningful lives but now lie unused, unloved and unwanted.

Today 90% of everything we write is communicated by only 7,000 words.

Blateration: n. – Blabber; Chatter. I asked where she got her shirt from, and I was immediately subject to endless blateration about her last shopping trip in Europe.

Modernicide: n. – Killing of modern people It’s a shame that modernicide is illegal as Celine Dion would be top of my hit list.

SHELLEY BERNSTEIN lives with her computer. Most days she hunkers down in her spartan office at the Brooklyn Museum where, as chief technology officer, she invents ways to keep people visiting the museum and its Web site, brooklynmuseum.org.

Every night she bicycles home to the Red Hook section of Brooklyn to be with Teddy, her beloved pit bull, and monitors the institution’s presence on Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Four Square and Twitter, where it has nearly 183,000 followers.Some of her projects — letting Web followers watch a 28-foot tepee being built in the museum or inviting them to participate in a coming exhibition by taking a visual art quiz — have led to a flood of invitations to lecture at conferences around the globe.

Technology and online integration can facilitate critical thinking, creativity and knowledgeable actions, rather

than merely being a skills activity.

Rich choices need explanation

There is a large opportunity cost for schools whose teachers are not fully aware and fully equipped searchers

and managers of information.

• Communication

–sharing thoughts, questions, ideas and solutions

• Curation

–collecting and reflecting on what we encounter

• Collaboration

–working together to reach a goal

–putting talent, expertise and ‘smarts’ to work

• Critical thinking

–looking a problems in a new way

–linking learning across subjects and disciplines

• Creativity

–trying new approaches to get things done

–innovation and invention44

• Personal learning environment – relying on the people we

connect with through social networks and collaborative tools

e.g. Twitter, Yammer.

• Personal learning network – learning content is not as

important as knowing where or to whom to connect and find

content e.g. Skype in the Classroom, iTunes U.

• Personal web tools – used for tracking our life and powering

our learning e.g. photos to Facebook, excursion pictures to

Flickr.

• Cloud computing – supporting open access between

sources and devices rather than being locked to software and

individual computers. e.g. Edmodo, Evernote, Diigo.

• Mixed reality – encompassed by e-devices and augmented

reality e.g. ebooks, QRcodes, Layar browser.

Choose the right tool to re-frame information collection and organisation as highly flexible and collaborative information and knowledge conversations.

meta-literacy action happens wherever they read and interpret the world

Metaliteracy unifies multiple literacy types.

This redefinition of information literacy expands the scope of generally understood information competencies and places a particular emphasis on producing and sharing information in participatory digital environments.Mackey, Thomas and Trudi Jacobson. “Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy.” College and Research Libraries 72, no. 1 (2011): 62-78.

It is time to stop isolating, separating, boxing and labelling the many aspects of literacy in our Digital Age and start seeing them as one.

re-usable information

• apply the knowledge within a real-world problem or

Filter failure

New developments in search, such as Google

instant (that shows results as you type) have

both enhanced & hindered the information

seeking habits of students by responding quickly

to search terms, and so making keyword

customization seem less relevant.

Web search engines have revolutionised the way people find and use information.

Now add more!

By showing our students how to connect a

database information repository (such as

EBSCO, Gale, or JStor) or a local library

service with Google Scholar, we are helping

students broaden the scope of their information

seeking, while at the same time refining the

quality of the information response.

alsoGoogle Scholar Alerts

RSS topic and journal alerts

When a technology focus subverts students’

conversation and development of critical

thinking skills (and their ability to evaluate and

analyse the information at hand), the mental

processes that change knowledge from

information to concept are not learned.
