What is literacy? Nichole Pickard hits the nail on the head in her video I'm sharing below when she states, "Literacy has always been defined by the technology." After hearing this statement it was like a whole new thought process started developing in my mind. Of course, as an ELA/Reading teacher I have known what literacy is but sometimes when I hear thoughts I begin to be able to look at subjects with new and refreshing insight. This video on DYN in the Chicago community did that for me and I hope that it will also get your mind churning too.
Please do share some of the thoughts you had or now have on digital literacy. Does you city have a program similar to DYN?
