@detmahler.bsky.social By embracing these "fuzzy borders" scholars acknowledge that meaning is constructed through multiple modes (visual, spatial, gestural and digital) not just print. #edu800fall25 #mills

@tonykaczoroski.bsky.social I agree the importance of authenticity and student agency is critical in developing digital literacy. Mills (2010) also emphasizes that learners construct meaning most effectively when they participate as creators rather than consumers of digital content.

@beccabuckle.bsky.social I agree with your point about the inclusion of video games as part of new literacies. #Mills does highlight how digital and multimodal practices like gaming expand our understanding of literacy beyond print. Being purposely structured to foster engagement is key.

@detmahler.bsky.socia I see your connection between the definitions of literacies and AAC systems. Both use technological tools to construct and share meaning. Its a great reminder that literacy extends far beyond traditional reading and writing. #edu800fall25 #mills

@vbagav.bsky.social I get why you'd want self-monitoring tests for online reading because kids are glued to their devices these days! A standard test might miss the cool stuff like remixing or collaborating that happens online. #edu800fall25 #Mills

My 17 year old call of duty streamer/moderator writes better than most students. Because he writes for a real audience. #Knobel #edu800fall25

Paradigm cases: anime music videos, machining, app building. These aren't just hobbies, they're social practices reshaping literacy. #Knobel #edu800fall25

Early digital literacy is the future. Young kids are deep into digital media at home. Why wait to educate younger kids with digital literacy? #Leu #edu800fall25

Teens master social media but fail at online research and critical evaluation. The home-school digital gap is widening. Time for turn-around pedagogies. #leu #edu800fall25

90 studies, 39 ethnographies. Kid's are innovating with digital media outside school. It's past the time to bring these practices into curriculum. #Mills #EDU800Fall25

Digital literacy isn't just tech, it's power and pedagogy. I recently read #Mills 2010 article "A Review of the "Digital Turn" in the the New Literacy Studies. #EDU800fall25
