Each student is uniquely individual, and each can create their own ‘desire lines’ and personalised pathways to learning through the flexibility of smart devices and tools. Smartphones are crammed full of useful technologies that can support creative learning.

It’s more important for us to recognise the significance of each tool, and how they can be used effectively in all their variations, and also in the combinations. Ultimately, transliteracy should be about using whatever media and communication tools are at our disposal, and also being able to discern which tools will be the most effective and appropriate in any given context.
