All this needs is some Australian content - Seven Little Australians, The Magic Pudding, Shy the Platypus, Ivan Southall, Nan Chauncy, Patricia Wrightson, Graeme Base, Garth Nix, Melina Marchetta, Libby Gleeson, etcetera. Will have to sort that out some day.

Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy

Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy | 21st Century skills of critical and creative thinking | Scoop.it

Social media environments and online communities are innovative collaborative technologies that challenge traditional definitions of information literacy. Metaliteracy is an overarching and self-referential framework that integrates emerging technologies and 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.

My Scoop.it! | 21st Century skills of critical and creative thinking | Scoop.it

I'm trying to stay tuned in what's happening in the field of information literacy, learning and school libraries. I'm working on my PhD degree in this same issue. By curating I'm also trying to bring up some of the latest discussions to my colleagues in Finland and abroad. Let's get inspired!

Books and educational toys can make a child smarter, but they also influence how the brain grows, according to new research presented here on Sunday at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

A valuable article on important research. Continuing to share evidence of what is best for developing brains is essential to making a positive impact.

I would agree. Do have a look at all the educational toys to be found on http://www.homeschoolsource.co.uk

Doug Fisher defines close reading.

 

"Close reading is an instructional approach that requires readers to re-read a text several times and really develop a deep understanding of the content contained in the text. The purpose is to build the habits of readers as they engage with the complex texts and to build their stamina and skills for being able to do so independently. However, close reading doesn’t mean that you simply distribute a complex reading and then exhort them to read it again and again until they understand it. As part of a close reading, students "read with a pencil" and learn to annotate as they go. In addition, they are asked text-dependent questions that require that they produce evidence from the text as part of their responses."
