Q5: With so much counting as #literacies beyond reading and writing, what are the implications of this? In other words, what happens if literacy is everything now?

Q5: I wonder about availability and access. to steal a framework from the librarians. If everything is #literacies, maybe it is all available, but is it all accessible? Does it all need to be? And what is inaccessible? From whom is it kept? By whom?
This question really makes me think about the bending of “rules” in order to parse out how and why particular literacies work and for whom. Although our field sees literacies as everywhere, that’s not equally understood across all Discourses.
A5: maybe if #literacies are everything, then power dynamics become more visible—who defines literacy and whose literacies are valued? It might challenge narrow, standardized measures and invite more relational, contextual assessments? Oooh, like the GISA!?
A5: #literacies being so much means that everyone should have a vested interest in edu, esp w/ the onslaught of restrictions on justice&equity efforts. Thinking critically, not just blindly accepting things, is of utmost importance in a world that tells us one way of thinking is the only way to be.
