A6: For this question, I return to the Bell quote that @anna-phd.bsky.social and @esp-phd.bsky.social evoked to start the chat: "We exist only in relation." In this moment, those relations are vital to our survival. I look forward to a continued #literacies community that exists far into the future.

A6: As an arts-based researcher interested in digital #literacies, I am super interested in a #literacies future that uses art as a way to critique and imagine the relationships we have with tech. As an extension, curious about how making/sharing artwork could make its way into #literacies chats!

A5: I always love when these chats can bring together scholars and practitioners/K-12 educators to discuss a shared interest. AI #literacies immediately comes to mind, but there are so many other topics which might bring together emerging research as well as useful classroom resources!

A4: I think the biggest challenge is getting more people on this platform for the chat because it is still relatively new. It makes me think of the "bring a friend" idea at gyms, classes, etc. We could try that here! This month's chat has been a great step in that direction. #literacies

A3: I have loved learning from @anna-phd.bsky.social about the first #literacies chats, and the seminal papers and ideas that have come out of this space. Here's to many more to come!

A2: I am newer to these, so it was the most recent chat for me! After discussing censorship with other scholars, as well as literacy practitioners, I have been seeing it everywhere and considering its applications on digital platforms. Loved that discussion with @drannd.bsky.social! #literacies

A1: As a doctoral student, it was actually the emergence of Bluesky which led me to the #literacies chats! I was interested to connect with other #literacies scholars online, and only more recently have I learned about what a cool history these chats had back on Twitter as well.

The AI and Education discourse is maddening. "Does AI improve learning?" is a dumb question. What form of "AI" and in what context? What do you mean by learning? Improving on a test or knowledge for use?
If you're asking that question, you don't actually care about a real answer.

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.
Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.
