If learners read with machines, not just through them, then how should we teach critical literacy? Are we preparing students to question algorithms as much as authors? Which algorithm is the RIGHT algorithm?

The authors have me wondering if my LMS is secretly grading me. 🤖📚 If literacy now means “becoming with machines,” I guess my SmartBoard deserves a seat at the faculty meeting. 😆

The authors suggest we “become with machines” through reading. So if our technologies co-create meaning, who’s really the author? And what happens to critical literacy when algorithms start shaping how we read?

“New literacies are social and participatory.”
Translation: your students are collaborating, problem-solving, and sharing knowledge… just not on the platform you set up. 😅

"Not everyone has to know or be good at exactly
the same thing."
Let this quote be a gentle reminder that we have the resources available to ACCOMMODATE students' diverse needs, instead of forcing them into a cookie-cutter model. 🫶

Old literacy: 📖 Read the book, discuss the theme.
New literacy: 🤳 Decode memes, fact-check AI, survive group chats.
Thanks, Knobel & Lankshear (2014), for confirming that I am doing academic work on social media. 😂

Teaching literacy today = preparing students for tools that don’t even exist yet. 🤯
Leu & Forzani call it a “world of infinite literacies.”
Are we helping students adapt, not just memorize? 🔄

From Web 2.0 to 4.0 and beyond, the authors argue literacy is no longer just decoding text: it’s navigating, evaluating, and creating in participatory digital spaces.
Are our schools keeping pace with this exponential change? 🤔

The authors remind us that “new literacies” are constantly emerging as digital tools that reshape how we read, write, and connect.

Mills reminds us that being literate today means understanding and creating across digital spaces, not just on paper. This shift changes everything about how we learn. So who's trading in their pencils for a keyboard??

Reading Kathy Ann Mills on the Digital Turn made me realize how vital digital and multimodal literacies are for future learning. As educators, how can we help students become not just consumers, but creators in digital spaces?

Mills’ review of the Digital Turn in the New Literacy Studies highlights how technology reshapes what it means to be literate. Are we adapting fast enough to meet these new demands in education?
