Welcome to my blog exploring literacy and its presence in the everyday!
This blog will be used to explore the topic of literacy and the approaches that are taken by people, myself included, when creating and interpreting meanings in communication of the contemporary society. This will be explored through a range of modalities to demonstrate just how diverse and wide-reaching literacy is in the everyday lives of the modern produsers of literacy.
Some of the questions that my investigation into literacy will explore includes:
- What is literacy?
- What does it mean to use literacies in 2017?
- What literacy practices do you engage with regularly?
- How do you use literacy practices? Are you a ‘produser’?
- How does your use of particular literacy practices reflect your own schooling history?
By exploring these links which my blog will be organised under, insight into the diverse and varied nature of literacy will be explored using a range of mediums. In particular, the concept will be examined in relation to my own experiences and understandings of literacy, and with reference to literary sources and content knowledge developed in the Educ1707 course.
