Time Isn't Holding Us

Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us; Time isn't holding us, time doesn't hold you back - Talking Heads

I was thinking today about my new hero, Andrew Whitworth, and so like anyone I Googled him. This led me to the transliteracy.com page where I learned that Andrew had given a conference presentation about transliteracy. Considering his work, all that makes sense. But it sparked some thinking on my part (remember this blog is at least partly my muse space) about how much informed learning embraces new technologies and new ways we navigate the information landscape.

Informed learning is about learning to use information in the ways that we actually use it. So while it doesn't promote engaging in new ways of using information, it still would provide an appropriate framework for learning that happens to be underpinned by new ways of engaging the information sphere (did you notice that I just upgraded us from a "landscape" to a "sphere" in the space of two sentences). But there lies the question - should informed learning address new ways we engage with information more intentionally? And what would that look like?

Off to bed for me.
