1. Reading Circles: “sites of domestic engagement, but also in public places” (Yancey 300).
Yancey talks about the concept of public reading and the parallel effect it had on writing. By the 21st century, much like reading circles, writing circles had come to be with the aid of technology. These writing circles were very diverse but still it is important to see how they acted together without instructions, because they are willing to write without looking for a reward such as a grade.
2. Digital Divide: “Many of us continue to focus on print. Given a concern that postmodernism and infobits could undermine a sustained rational discourse” (Yancey 307).
Technology advancements have been credited in each article for changing how literacy can be portrayed as. The issue with this is that many of the older generation does not want to change the way they teach because they do not fully understand the digital world. Although many classrooms do already use digital literacy, the curriculum does not reflect on this.
3. Deicity of Technology: “Deixis, linguistically, whose ‘meanings changes quickly depending on the time or space in which they are uttered’ or read” (Yancey 318).
Deixis is a word used to describe something that is always changing depending on the context. Because of the effect of technology, literacy has also become deixis. Meaning that there is more room for expanding composition itself such as in media. It is important to be able to adapt to a new process to prepare for the future.
