Literacy for a digital age: Transliteracy or what?

September 20, 2012 By Anne 3 Comments

Digital literacy educator Diana Graber is crowdsourcing a media literacy curriculum for 8th-graders at Journey School in southern California.

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman applies Conservation International's "Lost there, felt here" to global economics, as in "Lost in Athens, felt in Berlin. Lost on Wall Street, felt in Iceland." The same goes for families, school communities, virtual worlds, texting friends, classrooms, … [Read more...] about The ‘Era of Behavior’ online too, of course
