Thanks to Dave Parkes for alerting me to a post at Findability which talks about a digital media and learning initiative to help determine how digital technologies are affecting young people's behaviour (http://www.digitallearning.macfound.org/) and a white paper, Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture in which Jenkins, the author, proposes eleven new skills or literacies... I approached the latter rather sceptically, and still think there's a certain amount of old-wine-new-bottles going on, but some of the explanations of the "new literacies" are interesting (concerning play, remixing etc.).Photo by Sheila Webber: part of "One hundred books" by Stephen Hurrel, Leeds Metropolitan University, Nov 2006.
