The Living Sky School Division in Canada

Some interesting thoughts about a continuum of access to technologies. A simple way to think about where schools are at in order to consider issues such as digital divide, access and digital citizenship.

With due respect to Howard Gardner, there is not necessarily anything new here. Gardner's notion of synthesis is not far removed from Bloom and his concept of creativity follows the continuum set out by Cohen, with what appears to be references to Kaufmann's Four Cs of creativity. Certainly, the notion of lifelong learning is part of the character of the twenty-first century learner, while the need and process for evaluating information is at the core of information literacy. But this concept of synthesising and the effective evaluation and application of knowledge, is central to the teaching work of information leaders in the twenty-first century.
