Ok, I have about five minutes to write my first post since creating this site was way more fun than I expected it to be.
Since I don't have much time, I think I will just make a list (see my list of interests and you will understand why) of things that I hope to achieve/explore through this "new literacy studies" blog.
Thing 1: an exploration of "new literacy studies": what is it, why do we care.
Thing 2: blogging as a "new literacy" (where digital literacy meets media literacy)
Thing 3: blogging as an educational tool
Thing 4: rants and raves about the state of education
Thing 5: my thoughts, questions and discoveries about education--specifically critical literacy, media literacy, digital literacy...in essence, "new literacies" (see Thing 1)
Thing 6: links to articles and other blogs that explore these topics online
That is all for now. I will be back soon!

Hi ECD --
Would love to know what "new literacy studies" are.
I think that I've encountered some great writing on blogs. A lot of it is better than what I read in the newspapers, which usually have least common denominator quality.
Rants and raves about education would be fun for a little while, but get boring after a time. But then, you'd probably find that rants and raves about Church stuff would get boring after a while -- I usually don't.
LINKS -- yeah. Following good links sometimes makes you feel like you're in a gold mine, following a good seam in the rocks.
I'll check back!
