Observations from one of my students...Lanskhear notes that literacy is a
cultural phenomenon, which means that literacy changes
over time and space. Literacy of yesterday is not the same as literacy of today, which is an
important reason why teachers and TLs have to stay on the
cutting edge of technologies and research.
![Page 6: Presented by Joanne de Groot March, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568166b1550346895ddaaeb0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The same student continues...Today’s literacy is all about interaction
and problem solving skills it is not a solitary activity as it used to be.
Bobbi Newman notes that literacy is cultural, cognitive, constructive, communicative, confident, creative, cultural and civic. Gone are the days of the quiet individual workspace of the library. Today’s libraries and classrooms need to be a place of communication, inquiry, interactive and problem solving.

Transliteracy is...the ability to read, write and interact across a
range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks.
The modern meaning of the term combines literacy with the prefix trans-, which means "across; through", so a transliterate person is one who is literate across multiple media.
Definition from Wikipedia entry

Transliteracy is not just about computer-based materials, but about all communication types across time and culture. It does not privilege one above the other but treats all as of equal value and moves between and across them.
from: Thomas, S., et al. (2007). Transliteracy: crossing divides. First Monday, 12(12). Online.

Transliteracy happens in the places where different things
meet, mix, and rub together.

School libraries used to be about books and reading...traditional literacies.

Think about some of the key roles of the school library program and the teacher-

So, if transliteracy is about having the ability to
read, write, and interact across a
variety of platforms, what can and should teacher-
librarians in K-12 schools do to support our students and teachers in
developing these skills?
![Page 16: Presented by Joanne de Groot March, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568166b1550346895ddaaeb0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Put another way, how do we nurture, support, and privilege transliterate
practices in our school library programs?

Let's talk about books
Encouraging kids to talk about books in different formats and different ways, including via text, Facebook, face-to-face. Other Web 2.0 tools are also effective to promote book talk.

Kids as content creators and authors...and a way to build your collection??

As kids create new content for fun and/or to
demonstrate new knowledge, how can we
display this, share it, put it out there in the world for
others to see? Should we do this?

Call on your own PLN and encourage students to
build their own local and global/virtual and face-to-face PLN to share their work and support their
learning.

Kids helping to:
build collectionsplan programs and services
participate in their library experiences

Making all types of media and resources more accessible through our catalogues.
![Page 31: Presented by Joanne de Groot March, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568166b1550346895ddaaeb0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Allowing and encouraging students to share information and new knowledge in a variety of ways...including non-traditional formats and in unique and individual ways.
![Page 32: Presented by Joanne de Groot March, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062305/568166b1550346895ddaaeb0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Ultimately, we are supporting our students to become active and
engaged citizens who are literate across all platforms. We want them to be able to fully participate in the
world around them. Supporting and promoting the notion of transliteracy
can only strengthen our library programs, can only serve to support
our students and teachers, and in the end benefit the future....because

someday, one of those kids may be singing to us from the International Space Station!
