6. 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.”
