Literacy/Technology

It should have been where my search for digital literacy legitimacy started, with my advisor’s co-authored definition of the elusive form of literacy in the Cambridge Handbook on Literacy. Maybe I can ask for a signed copy? Of course, now that I have found the PDF of their entry on digital literacy (Dobson & Willinsky, 2009), I find myself on very familiar ground: I already read this article twice – yikes! So much for fully engaging with the reading. Belshaw (2011), on the other hand, was a poignant and punchy answer to the question raised in the title of his EdD dissertation, but due to its less research-like status, must be handled with kid-gloves. So much to learn about academic writing!
