We pause to honor the extraordinary contributions of Dr. Kylene Beers to NCTE and the literacy field. Kylene spurred our leadership forward at every turn. Many recognize her as a giant, and she was, including serving as NCTE President (2008-2009) and as a proud member of the Middle Level section.

Despite all of the lunacy, I'm excited to share this essay written with my colleague and mentor Allison Skerrett. We look back at #multiliteracies and ask: What kinds of agency are possible today? The 1996 article is being reprinted alongside a new commentary from Cope and Kalantzis. DM for PDF!

Really like this framing: "since we can't witness everything ourselves..." Our basic concepts of what is real or happening depend upon our trust in social groups (eg, scientists, reporters) we have learned to assume are relatively correct. Who we trust, what we read/watch/etc. becomes reality.

There is always available an existential question about whether your actions matter given the giant scope of how things change. What you do does matter even as the world turns though. Great thread from Cody.

I know TikTok aren’t “the good guys” here. Like any massive platform created to addict us, surveil us, & harvest our attention for digital dollars, it is built on extractive logics that are bad. But god damn—people did amazing stuff on there. Has Instagram Reels ever given us something like this?

100%.The prioritizing of narrative and emotional attachments to ideas, people, etc. when those attachments conflict with true information also isn't some strange aberration or the possession of one incorrect group, it's the way people make sense of the world.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

Yes. Constant mistaking the products of thought for thought itself. +The idea that the only thing you need to do yourself is construct the actual words (to create ownership of it). A lot of suggestions for having #AI brainstorm research topics, outlines, arguments. This is the thinking and learning!

It would be an interesting #medialiteracy activity to compare/contrast politicians' or commenters' free speech rhetoric with actions/policies, maybe a mix and match of actions (banning books, regulating speech you disagree with, etc.) with expressed values. #edusky

We're likely to enter a world in which every possible human interaction is replaced with good-enough-for-the-moment mechanized interaction, regardless the problems. I imagine this world will subtly but deeply increase systemic alienation + our feelings of being separated and isolated and alone.

Among the most important critiques of GAI embedding everywhere is that it encourages a situation where human interaction is a luxury not an expectation. We are humans. we need human interaction. And human care. These tools encourage an outsourcing of self that we should not accept.

Text from article. “Before, we were told that White House officials’ merely reaching out to social media companies about election misinformation was a democracy-ending threat. Now, the world’s richest man has openly used his platform to boost one candidate, ridden that campaign’s success into the White House himself, and ... crickets. The silence is deafening.”
