Digital Literacies

So… digital literacies.

I used to be a teacher.

My MA dissertation question: What does it mean to be 'educated' in the 21st century?

Difference = DIGITAL.

MA → Ed.D.

How was reading/writing different?

These two books got me started.

Digital literacy = badly defined.

Started meta-analysis. SO MANY frameworks and definitions! http://dougbelshaw.com/wiki

I was stuck. :-(

Stumbled across this book. William Empson = legend.

Every word has both a denotative and connotative aspect.

Meaning and implication (e.g. 'mother')

Digital Literacy stuck in 'Creative ambiguity'.

Eureka! Not digital literacy but digital literacies.

Better to co-construct definitions depending on context.
