1. Multimodality is the idea that text is not just print. For example, these text include; visuals and audio. Multimodality shows that paper and pencil are not the only things to express words. (New London Group, 1996). Print represents only one mode of communication, and it is not always the most important focus”. Color, line, shape, or texture can also be thought of as modes because each design element allows students to use their own interpretation (Curwood & Hassett, 2009). When I think of multimodality I think of jumping from one form of text to another. That could be in a literal way, jumping from bold text to red text. Another example is jumping from reading text and watching it, along with listening to it.

When discussing and comparing the different types of literacies and the TPACK framework I believe the information from the three can be intertwined in some ways. TPACK emerged as a framework for identifying and understanding the complex interplay of teachers’ technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge and how these knowledge bases influence how a teacher effectively integrates technology into classroom instruction (Hutchison, Beschorner, & Schmidt-Crawford, 2012). While new media literacies are a set of cultural competencies and social skills that young people need in the new media landscape it involves social skills developed through collaboration and networking. It is built on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom (Jenkins White Paper). Lastly, multiliteracies are “the multiplicity of communication channels and media, and the increasing saliency of cultural linguistic diversity. This includes multimodality, changes in both literacy and culture, and design and pedagogy” (New London Group, …show more content…
Digital literacies are “practices related to critically navigating, evaluating and creating texts using a range of digital technologies. Draw upon foundational forms of literacy. Enable students to communicate effectively in digital media environments, as well as to comprehend the ever-changing digital landscape”. “These digital technologies provide increasingly unique and versatile opportunities and contexts for reading, writing, and communicating, “(Hutchinson and Colwell, 2015). The first thing that comes to mind when I think of digital literacies is social media and technology tools such as cell phone and iPads. In today’s classroom, this is what students are equipped to and best understand. When students are being exposed to digital literacies more frequently in todays generation, why wouldn’t we would use these same digital literacies in the classroom? Because it’s the “norm” and what make sense to students and their
