I was reading David Warlick's blog and he posted the video I shared in the course with you but then I went looking for more and this is what I saw.

An interesting comment on technology and humanity.
He was also commenting on how the topic of "transliteracy" has been introduced to him. Here it is:
Transliteracy is the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks.
Sounds like literacy to me....should I email our director of education?

Transliteracy - you are right. It is literacy. Interesting that in spite of everything, the first word, the first skill is still reading. Loved the video. Loved the message.
As librarian, I have felt for a long time now, that resources have no value (zero) (do they really exist?) if no one is using them. Thus, the old attitudes whereby one just wanted the books neatly on the shelf and if no one ever touched... that was preferrably to books used and abused and pages mussed and books lost or forgotten or misplaced or doodled in.
WEB 2.0 with the message that it is the sharing and the use of the information that gives it value. It only has meaning if someone is using or applying or synthesizing.
Evaluation.
So much to challenge our presumptions. Are any truths still held sacred? Perhaps the only ...reading is the key.
Hi Deb,
Interestingly, this is one of the youtube videos, that I put on my website. I have another interesting one there about just who is participating in this conversation. It's all under 'food for thought' and I've invited people to comment on them.
