Popular Culture, Textual Practice and Identity

The author opines, "If literacy is changing, in the context of the new technologies, schools and teachers need to find ways to work productively with students to help them become critical users and producers of new texts and literacies." And given the analysis found in the body of the paper - analyses of text-based communication in the context of online gaming environments - it may well be that literacy is changing (something I have argued for elsewhere). While some bemoan the loss of literacy, I agree with the author that "Teachers need frameworks for reconceptualising literacy and curriculum that will both reflect and build on the digital literacies students have already acquired." Good paper, great examples.
