Before reading this chapter, how did you define literacy? How has reading this chapter affected your definition, and, how does the chapter achieve its goal "to reflect upon some aspects of the history of literacy and to imagine possibilities for its future" (19)? What do you envision for the future of literacy?
(not to answer, just to think about)
- fifteen years ago, would "lol," "idk," "ruok" have had meaning?
- what about texting? IM-ing?
- do you know what a carriage return is?
- is reading/writing/communicating literacy related to cultural literacy?
