    An interesting article Margaret. I had been thinking the same thing...I sometimes post articles and whilst I do have at least a quick view, I don't always read through to the end. The author calls it the age of skimming. I guess there are multiple reasons for it: time constraints for one. The author mentions how the small size of a mobile phone screen also affects the ability of people to read articles online - and people are increasingly accessing information/social networking sites on mobile phones. So they just skim...Thanks for sharing!

    I love this. It is so true. It goes to show you need interesting titles, the important info straight up, pics and/or videos and articles that are not too long.

Social media and Web 2.0: Teacher-librarians, risk and inequity - 1 views

  •  
    In a pilot study the author found the approach to social media access for school students and teachers differed according to sector. State schools had a "walled garden" approach while independent schools "empowered and managed". The differences were attributable to either risk aversion or bandwidth management or both. This was found to contribute to the digital divide between "information-rich and information-poor" with state students disadvantaged in the development of digital literacy.

Behind the Studio Door with Shaun Tan - 3 views

  • When ‘Rules of Summer’ was developed as an app for iPad – the first time I’ve worked with an electronic book – I was quite keen to include as many sketches as possible; work that does not fit well into a printed book, but is perfectly good as supplementary material in digital media
