1. Problem solving over learned procedure
2. Connected and social over abstract and solitary
3. Multiple perspectives over one correct view
4. Exploration and inquiry over retrieval and repackaging
5. Authentic context over contrived purpose

Digital resources and media for students can:
1. engage young people’s cultural and social practices
2. provide opportunities for transformative learning
As publishers, we can:
3. commission, write, design and curate across the range of
media and in multimodal forms
4. plan for and predict likely interaction
5. contribute an editorial or curatorial role that influences and
creates community
