Investigating pedagogy for a multi-chronic world.
What does "Polychronic" mean?
Edward T. Hall coined the term in his book "The Silent Language," to mean any form of culture or communication that perceives time in multiple, non-linear ways.
America has generally been regarded as a "monochronic" culture, perceiving time in a linear way; monochrons prefer to take on one task at a time.
With the advancements being made in today's technology, especially in modes of communication, many American's are developing varying levels of polychronicity, or the ability to multi-task.
