The examples cite several exciting examples of new literacies. What they all have in common is “encoded text” (even if it is only a short caption). This fits with their definition and DrJoolz’s conception (see http://digitalliteracies.blogsome.com/) of literacy. However, my research suggests some academics/practitioners/educationalists conceptions do not include “encoded text” or that it is incidental. Maybe, if you are an ICT teacher in a secondary school, the text that appears on the screen is incidental to teaching “Internet literacies”?Peter Stordyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342406385743884331noreply@blogger.com
