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

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
