Many Faces of Literacy?

… from Analog  Digital

This generation is
technologically
literate, but

information
illiterate.

What is Transliteracy?

Literacy = reading? communicating?
Trans = across
Are we “traveling” along a literacy road

What is Transliteracy?

Communicating, reading, writing, across
“platforms.”
Transliteracy calls for a change of perspective
away from the battles over print versus digital, and a
move instead towards a unifying ecology …of all
literacies relevant to reading, writing, interaction and
culture, both past and present.

text + media …in digital environments. The “plus”
indicates the zone of negotiation—of mutation,
adaptation, cooptation, hybridization, etc.—by
which the older text [print, writing, orality, and
audiovisual ] enters into new relations with digital
media and with networked communication
technologies. Aspects of this “plus” include:

Participative technology fosters:

• Flat-world operability
• Open 24-7
• Anonymity
• Ubiquitous presence,
• Subject to restrictions only imposed by
availability or culture

Think about it….

Communication Shift
 The average 13- to 17-year-
old sends and receives 3,339
texts a month—more than
100 per day, the media
research firm. Adults are
catching up. People from
ages 45 to 54 sent and
received 323 texts a month in
the second quarter of 2010,
up 75% from a year ago.
-According to the Nielsen Co. PJaeger - WSWHE School Library System

Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary
Reading in America, showed an alarming decline of reading in
all age groups across the country, and especially among
eighteen-to twenty-four-year-olds.

The chairman of the NEA termed the results an indication
of a “national crisis,” one that reﬂected “a
general collapse in advanced literacy,” and a loss that
“impoverishes both cultural and civic life.”

Metacognitive Process?

 Decoding text is now only 1 skill in
communication literacy… Metaliteracy
 We now acknowledge a process of combining
communication types/tools …Metaliteracy
 Digital renaissance feeds … Metaliteracy
 Melting pot of communication = Metaliteracy

 Immigration:meltingpot
 Transliteracy:communication

Read, write & react?

Transliteracy is a mix of:
“inherited conventions
and recent inventions,
expectations and
improvisations.”

Under the
direction of
“A blend of technology and human experience…” Alan Liu.

Now… Interactive Reading

Fluid
Evolving
Relational

Has communication evolved to “broadcasting”
rather than real listening,
seeking to understanding,
reflecting, and responding?

Banking has
acknowledged this…

Healthcare has

Government has

We’ve lost control of reading:

 Top
 Down
 Left
 Right

 Answer questions.

Reading has transformed
Media has transformed
Students have transformed
Libraries have transformed

How have you
experienced that
transformation over your
career?

What, was important in
a print environment,
that is still important in
metaliteracy?

With your neighbor…. Come up
with an analogy for today’s
online “reading” or
“researching”

“browsing, searching, scanning, jumping,
filtering, aggregating, organizing, and other
kinds of discontinuous, low-attention,
peripheral-vision, or machine-assisted
reading practices that only partially map
over predecessor practices of literacy. But
also: new ways to focalize or intensify
reading among the clutter as in the ability
of RSS and similar tools to create a virtual
“my newspaper.”

Does this equate to a working
definition of online reading?

According to Marilee Sprenger, The Digital
Brain, Sept 2009…

The next illiteracy will be those who:

•cannot think
•cannot operate on a virtual platform
•cannot transfer literacies
•cannot conclude and cannot
synthesize meaning from multiple
sources

In 1942, Aldous Huxley
wrote:
People will come to love …
technologies that undue their
capacities to think.
