Will and Lyn talk with educator and library administrator Bud Hunt who asks us to consider when we stopped making schools a place of wonder? We discuss the connections between literacy and making (“making is a fundamental thing that people do”); a library’s purpose as a community space where people can engage in civil discourse; “drone literacy” (it’s a thing!); what we actually mean by “modern literacy” and how we can support teachers and learners in becoming most literate; and the algorithms influencing and often censoring our digital interactions with one another (Noble’s Algorithms of Oppression is referenced).
Thanks for tuning in!
