a participation gap exists
many lack new forms of “literacy, the energy supply of the information age”
deborah brandt
many lack access or resources to connect and create
“this means that our democratic institutions
(schools and libraries particularly) have to
work hard and thoughtfully to
mitigate these forces.”Deborah Brandt
“the more that the school organizes literacy teaching and learning to serve the needs of the economic system, the more it betrays its democratic possibilities” deborah brandt
how can educators harness the power of social media and new media literacies to close the gap and
grow each student’s cultural capital?
how do we disrupt what paulo freire terms the “banking” system of education that devalues
inquiry?

“It’s all about learning…how is this going to fundamentally enrich a conversation?
There isn’t a part of the library that isn’t about learning.
Learning is a collaborative conversation.”
Dr. David Lankes

a participatory model of learning is scalable to any subject area or age group
a participatory climate amplifies the possibilities for creating conversations for learning via multiple
mediums
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

transliteracy is the umbrella for how people are using multiple literacies---traditional and
emerging ---to access and share information as well as create new meaning

“Once you start doing, things become a lot more real. You make mistakes. You learn. You practice. Once you start doing, you can interact with others who have done. You suddenly join a fraternity of those who’ve done something similar.”
