Digital Literacy
In the Hamilton article, there is a passage that talks about the many different “artefacts” that are involved with literacy. One of these mentioned is a computer, which she describes as a writing tool. My image shows a group of people using computers, in what I assume to be a classroom. Looking at the photo, one does not know exactly what they are doing on the computer. However, I think it is safe to say that it involves literacy in one way or the other. Either the people are taking notes, writing a paper, creating a blog post, checking twitter, and maybe they even have a split screen where they are completing more than one of these tasks at a time. Hamilton also states, “We began by thinking in terms of activities as simply reading and writing, but a very large number of newspaper images involve people displaying, holding, inspecting, possessing or giving, discussing and disputing written texts of various sorts.” I think this is very true especially with the use of technology, where information can be shared with anyone, anywhere so rapidly. As a member of this class, we are all taking part in sharing blogs, and reading articles through this lovely website. Digital literacy is something that is becoming apparent in most classrooms, and is starting at a much younger grade in school.

It’s pretty interesting to see how technology is changing how we interact with literacy. We can access literacy through all sorts of ways now and the picture you have is a good depiction of how we use technology either for school or work or entertainment. As you said digital literacy is becoming more common now in younger generations and that’s really important to think about because it does affect how they interact with literacy but not necessarily in a bad way. We’re using technology and all that it offers all these cool ways of interacting with text and I think that it really opens doors for new ways in which we can view literacy.
