Mindful Online Behavior: Finding Shelter From the Storm
No full textThe storm of progress may be inevitable but this presentation suggests that within the storm, pockets of calm can be found. Paying attention to one’s own thinking is a critical information practice that is particularly helpful in the open-ended, read-write environment of new media. To act in responsible, creative, and meaningful ways in such environments requires the kind of self-knowledge that comes from focused, controlled, and reflective thinking. The metaphor of the storm is a useful way to describe the thought processes of many young people as they learn to navigate new media. But given the opportunity, young people are capable of thinking about their own thinking in the context of online behavior, and often do so in creative and unique ways. \ud

The poster presents research that has investigated mindful – or metacognitive - online behavior with teens. Using ethnographic and visual research methods, the studies have revealed the metacognitive knowledge, beliefs, and practices that young people invoke in order to navigate the complex social and information worlds of new media. Nevertheless (and perhaps not surprising) there is evidence of developmental differences in levels of self-awareness and self-perception of thinking processes. The presentation relates to the conference theme, The Storm of Progress, because it explores and imagines creative information practices. \u

Using Visual Metaphors to Reveal Metacognition in the Context of Information-Seeking Behavior
No full textThis lightning talk explores the use of visual metaphors as a technique for uncovering metacognition (specifically, metamemory) and its role in information seeking. Why use metaphor to reveal metacognition? Metaphors can be a scaffold, helping to “make connections between unrelated phenomena in order to describe, explain, and gain insight” and are useful in bringing conceptually abstract ideas into sharp focus (Bowler, 2012). I posit that asking people to project their metaphors for metacognition onto a sketch opens a window on an elusive mental (and emotional) process that is integral to information seeking but which is difficult to reveal
Author-reader relationship at the site of the work

It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced
