Today marks an interesting convergence of ideas amongst the feeds collected in my Google Reader. To start with, I’d like to extend my thanks to Smart Mobs, linked below, for pointing out this video on new media literacies. As a YouTube video, it qualifies as a nice example of what it tries to explain. David Warlick, among others, has often made the case that literacy needs to be redefined to include information literacy and technology and does so again in a new post. Coincidentally, Will Richardson draws a line in the sand and dares us to step across into that brave new ‘paperless‘ world. If literacy needs to be redefined, what are the core components on which we need to focus in our classrooms?
