Meet the guest editor of the latest Literacy Today magazine issue: Scott Storm, assistant professor of literacy in the University at Albany School of Education! 🎓 In his opening address to readers, Scott shares his thoughts on shaping the direction of this issue: buff.ly/KmPYKHB
A quote that reads: "To solve the complex problems facing the world today, society needs diverse ways of constructing knowledge. Disciplinary literacies need to value all communities that create knowledge."

A6: I’m thinking about what it would look like to bring pre-service teachers to fandom-focused literacy classrooms. College and high school students collaboratively investigating, analyzing, and writing about fandoms together could be a next frontier to explore! #literacies
040
Scott Storm @scottstorm.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
A5: Classrooms can easily feel like “doing school” with a focus on compliance. Instead, support students to follow their intellectual passions! Give choice about what texts to read, work to produce, and questions to pursue. I’ve seen this work in diverse and inclusive public schools! #literacies
063
Scott Storm @scottstorm.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
A4: This shift creates a more student-centered community. Instead of teachers spending time preparing lectures and worksheets, they facilitate a community where students use literacy to pursue intellectual interests, analyze a wide range of texts, and construct new knowledge together. #literacies

Scott Storm @scottstorm.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
A3: Our book is about the high school class we designed where youth study fandoms—including franchises they love and texts fans produce. Our students used critical literacies to transform fandom spaces—for example, posting critiques of fandoms that relied on oppressive jokes. #literacies

Scott Storm @scottstorm.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
A2: I’m a Dungeons & Dragons fan, but I wasn’t one until my high school students taught me how to play! I got to see how D&D can be used to imagine socially just worlds free from hate. My students helped show me the power of words and story to work to change the fabric of our realities. #literacies

The front and back covers of a new book "Fandoms int eh Classroom" by Karis Jones and Scott Storm. Front cover image shows a girl sitting cross-legged on the floor in a classroom. She if framed by large wooden bookcases and is surrounded by books, comics, computers, and a digital tablet as well as a jovial cartoon dragon whose body is magically popping in and out of the floor. The classroom floor and wall are bright orange and the cover art invites wonder and whimsy in a rich intellectual environment
