Beyond Boxes and Wires

Literacy in Transition

Kathleen Tyner

Hi-Beam Consulting

Students have high levels of access to digital multimedia tools, yet classroom routines barely tap the potential of digital media for learning. Current uses of nonprint literacy resources employ routine alphabetic literacy practices and fail to fully use some unique characteristics of digital media such as immediacy, archival breadth and depth, interactivity, and the implosion of multiple media texts. Hands-on production is marginalized in elementary and secondary school settings—even when digital literacy tools are abundant. Practices that extend the concept of reading and writing to include the viewing and representing of multimedia texts are necessary if digital literacy is to be integrated across the curriculum. The article presents educational design strategies that can be customized to support the uses of digital literacy tools for learning.

Key Words: multiliteracy • digital literacy • multimedia • constructivism • technology learning environments
