Two Types of Meaningful Connection
(two meanings of “meaning”)
• Semantic: A word, concept, or idea is not just meaningful for what it is, but for how it relates, connects, and contrasts with other words, concepts and ideas.
• Personal: A person finds their own meaning and significance (their identity) not just in “who they are” but in how they relate, connect, and contrast with other people.
--Michael Wesch in A Portal to Media Literacy
“To learn is to create meaningful connections. To learn is to create significance”
