Summary: Transliteracy
is the ability to read, write and interact across multiple mediums, including
handwriting, print, TV, radio, film, and digital social networks. This article
includes an in-depth definition of transliteracy, its history, the newer
mediums that it incorporates today, how it forces literacy to evolve, and the
future of transliteracy.
Evaluation: This
would be a read for someone who is really, really interested in transliteracy.
This piece is a bit wordy, but it is definitely full of quality information and
interesting tidbits. I liked that this piece talked about some of the pros and
cons of the digital age, and the interesting ways technology has changed our “literary
behavior”.
