I so agree on your comment on my last post Beata. We do live in media/ICT times and maybe it is possible to enjoy it. That was kind of my intention with that post as well. Maybe facebook and other network societies are more than simple entertaining. As a teacher I think it's interesting to see how people communicate in 2010. Our daily work at school is very much about communicating, geeting in contact with our students, reach them on their level. To do that we need to take part and we need to understand how this "ICT world" works. To be abel to give the students advices and support we need to be on the inside.
A resource in our classroom is about Literacy, which is the ability to read and write. That is, of course, elementary knowledge also in 2010. But is it enough? I don't think so. To be a social human beeing existing in the 21.century you also need other elementary knowledge. We need to learn how to read and create multimodal texts, which speaks with a verbal, visual and audiovisal language. And at this point I'm inspired of Beatas slide show about "Introduction to the concept of new literacies".
The last question in this post is; where is the connection between facebook and the fact that I think there is a need for New Literacies ? And my answer is; It is all about the way we communicate in 2010!

Hi :-)
SvarSlettFacebook is a kind of multimodal text. So can be a blog. Mayby you could try to do a bit of experimenting with your posts so that they speak in various language modes. This is in fact what task 2 is going to be about.
