The Brave new Citizen with Jamie McKenzie

Reminding us to look at literacies with a broad view eg litracy includes reading body language, signs, cultural literacies, natural literacies (like signs of rips on a surf beach) etc acknowledges the challenge of converting the lofty statements in the NZC into daily practice.

Can you photography to look at a familiar object in a different way, appreciateing them all as valid view points He uses the daily jigsaw as an illustration of how team work can result in effective outcomes, all the pieces scattered mean very little but assembled correctly will show the picture Check out jigzone.com for their daily puzzle We need to encourage our students to Think the Unthinkable, somewhat like the Titanic yes it cant possibly be happening but of shxxt it is!! or the Emperors new clothes. Encourage students when seeking/surfing for information to avoid scooping masses of information to drown in and then compouding it as you can always find evidence to support even the most random truths/untruths, (had a bit of a dig at Wikipeadia), students should be distilling the information to create understandings then interacting with that to create learning and knowledge. Reality is/or can be simply what the majority agree on!

Cute phrase he used **__// "Turn on your minds eye" //__** we say play the video in your head.

Using ICT we dont want to create mentalsoftness= **Microsoft**ness
