For the RipMixFeed activity<\/a> I collected a set of resources using the social bookmarking <\/a>tool del.icio.us<\/a>. Many of us have already used this application in other courses to create a class repository of resources or to keep track of links relevant to our research projects. What I like about this tool is that the user can collect all of their favourite links, annotate them and then easily search them according to the tagged words that they created. This truly goes beyond the limitations of web browser links.<\/p>\n

For this activity I focused on finding resources specifically related to digital and visual literacy and multiliteracies. To do this I conducted web searches as well as searches of other del.icio.us user\u2019s links. As there are so many resources \u2013 too many for me to adequately peruse \u2013 I have subscribed to the tag \u2018digitalliteracy\u2019 in del.icio.us so I connect with others tagging related information. You can find my del.icio.us page at: http:\/\/delicious.com\/nattyg <\/a><\/p>\n

Use the tags \u2018Module4\u2019 and \u2018ETEC540\u2019 to find the selected links or just search using ETEC540 to find all on my links related to this course.<\/p>\n

A couple of resources that I want to highlight are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Roland Barthes: Understanding Text<\/strong> (Learning Object)
    \nEssentially this is a self-directed learning module on Roland Barthes ideas on semiotics. The section on     Readerly and Writerly Texts<\/a> is particularly relevant to our discussions on printed and electronic texts.<\/p>\n
  2. Howard Rheingold on Digital Literacies<\/a><\/strong>
    \nRheingold states that a lot people are not aware of what digital literacy is. He briefly discusses five different literacies needed today. Many of these skills are not taught in schools so he poses the question how do we teach these skills?<\/p>\n
  3. New Literacy: Document Design & Visual Literacy for the Digital Age Videos<\/strong>
    University of Maryland University College faculty, David Taylor created a five part video series on digital literacy. For convenience sake here is one Part II where he discusses the shift to the \u2018new literacy\u2019. Toward the end of the video, Taylor (2008) makes an interesting statement that \u201ctoday\u2019s literacy means being capable of producing fewer words, not more\u201d. This made me think of Bolter\u2019s (2001) notion of the \u201cbreakout of the visual\u201d and the shift from textual to visual ways of knowing.\n<\/ol>\n

    Alexander (2006) suggests that social bookmarking can work to support \u201ccollaborative information discovery\u201d (p. 36). I have no people in my Network as of yet. I think it would be valuable to connect with some of my MET colleagues so if you would like share del.icio.us links let\u2019s connect! My username is nattyg<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
