A Connected Legacy: Building a Canada 150 CommunityBonnie Stewart
In 2017, Canada will mark its 150th birthday. What kinds of stories of nationhood and identity will we celebrate? How will we share them?
In 1967, at its centennial, Canada was a two-channel country. Today, we have an infinite number of channels to share stories, but we haven't yet fully graduated from an institutional-era infrastructure of storytelling to a networked one.
These past few months, however, we've had an incredible model - Commander Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency and recent Commander of the International Space Station - who managed not only to do his formal job well, but to exceed that job and harness the power of social networking to bring space back into the minds and hearts not just of Canadians, but of the world.
This presentation - part of the 2017 Starts Now conversations hosted across the country in 2013 under the hashtag #Canada150 - argues that we need networks as well as our traditional institutions in order to move forward with a revitalizing, inclusive narrative for Canada's national identity. Commander Hadfield didn't go to space alone, but his pictures and tweets and socially networked engagement helped all of us see space travel and our place on the planet differently. We need to make the most of all of our voices.

learn and the people and resources to learn it.

21. What Do We Want?
NCTE Definition of 21st Century Literacies
Adopted by the NCTE Executive Committee, February 15, 2008
Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among
members of particular groups. As society and technology change, so does literacy. Because
technology has increased the intensity and complexity of literate environments, the twenty-
first century demands that a literate person possess a wide range of abilities and
competencies, many literacies. These literacies—from reading online newspapers to
participating in virtual classrooms—are multiple, dynamic, and malleable. As in the past, they
are inextricably linked with particular histories, life possibilities and social trajectories of
individuals and groups. Twenty-first century readers and writers need to
• Develop proficiency with the tools of technology
• Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-
culturally
• Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes
• Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information
• Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts
• Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments

34. “Blogs can be really interesting containers – you
can put pretty much any digital stuff into a blog
that you’d ever want to – but they should also be
playful playgroundy spaces. Blogs are much better
as places of play rather than places of expectation.”
-Bud Hunt, budtheteacher.com
36. “Be the big learner.”
-Will Richardson
“Learning is awesome”
