Literacy is:...the making of meaning and its clear communication to others. Truly literate people not only read and write, but regularly do so in order to sort out their ideas and put them into words, to fit them together and test hypothesis - i.e. to make sense and meaning out of our world. Truly literate people acknowledge that they need to write things down, to talk them out, to read widely, to listen critically and respond articulately. Truly literate people are thinkers and learners.”

Brown & Mathie, 1990

“If you can crack the problem of engagement - not just ‘are you paying attention?’ but ‘are you fascinated by this?’ - if you can crack engagement in deep learning then you’ve cracked 21st century schooling.”

...exposing yourself to as much serendipity, as much argument and conversation, as many rival and related ideas as possible; to borrow, to repurpose, to recombine... good ideas happen in networks....
