Laying the Plank. Preparing the Pivot.
Information is everywhere. The skills to question it, evaluate it, and use it ethically are what set learners apart. People are not born knowing what to trust — they learn one skill at a time. The goal is not to consume more information; it is to understand it.
At Plank & Pivot, navigating the information landscape isn’t about memorizing facts or finding quick answers. It’s about mastering the art of inquiry, the science of information, and developing the ethical compass to ask better questions, evaluate sources critically, and engage responsibly as digital citizens.
Presentations & Talks
Bringing these ideas into practice – conference sessions, workshops, and collaborations that explore information literacy, ethical inquiry, and supporting learners in navigating today’s information landscape.
