Conversations about (new) literacies

Welcome back!
Please use the 'Suggestions?' tab to the right of the screen if you want to suggest something for me to write about. You can remain anonymous if you wish!

As regular readers of this blog know, I’m (still!) studying towards my Ed.D. on the subject of ‘digital literacies’. The subject crops up in various networks of which I’m part from time-to-time, not least via my Twitter network.

Twitter only allows 140 characters which can be a little limiting sometimes and tweets are hard to collate and archive. As a result, I decided we needed a old-skool forum. And so, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you:

literacyconversation.org

It’s powered by bbPress, the sibling of the excellent Wordpress (which powers this blog). It was super-easy to setup and there’s already some first-class debate and conversation going on. Head on over and take part!
