In the world of education and literacy, the Four Resources Model is the ability to use the four families of resources of literacy: code breaking, comprehension, text user and critical analysis.

We’re going to modify things a bit for the blogosphere:

Code Breaking (Language): There is a language all its own out here (a ‘trackback‘?) That’s one reason for the ongoing Glossary project.
Meaning Making (Tools): To properly collect and comprehend all the information, knowledge of what tools are available and how to use them is imperative.
Text Usage (Info Use): As we continue to dive into this Era of Infosumption, how do we sort and filter signal vs noise?
Text Analysis  (Info Management): What’s worth reading? What do you do with it after you read it? Can you find it when you need to reference it?

We’ll dissect these together in future posts and see what happens.
