Good distillation of what I argue in Building the Innovation School—the imperative to "innovate" in K-12 education is a mechanism to recurrently launder austerity and/or public resource capture as common-sense, even equitable, reform.

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!

I would love for us to do something - act in the world. I saw, for instance, someone crowdsourcing legit aid organizations in Jamaica today. Simple, but can be impactful. #Literacies chat could be a great source to do rapid response crowdsourcing of resources, ideas, support, etc.
Q4: A community now is more important than ever. What ideas do you have for ways we can support and build the #literacies community through this chat?

A3: I always appreciate the opportunity to connect with the younger generation of emerging #literacies scholars —-and I also think these chats make connecting with more senior scholars accessible too
Q3: The #literacies chat began in 2012 with a Derrick Bell quote, "However self-sufficient we may fancy ourselves, we exist only in relation..." What connections have you made with others through the chat?

Q3: As someone whose doctorate began at the dawn of the pandemic, I don’t know where I’d be (from a scholarly/professional POV) without the #literacies crew I met online. Truly a space where lasting collaborations, and friendships(!) are built and sustained. Glad I get a lovely monthly reminder!

Oh, I SO needed this moment! Cup is full and I'm so glad I reconnected with the #literacies community across the time zones! Totally worth staying up till 2:00 am! Thank you all for the life boost that this chat became!
Is the #literacies chat hour over? It went by so fast! Thank you to everyone who came out to #literacies Homecoming. Expect my posts to keep coming as I revisit what I missed. And let's keep collaborating & building collective responses to the now that move us toward the futures envisioned tonight!

A6: Looking toward futures that (continue to) disrupt traditional singular ways of thinking about “literacy” in classrooms, paving the way for the multitude of more equitable #literacies learning designs we might have instead

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.

THIS! During @drannd.bsky.social 's #literacies chat last month, @profconnors.bsky.social asked about the lack of student voice (broadly) in a lot of censorship conversations, and now I see it EVERYWHERE. Really excited for the upcoming work Dr. David teased on this!
A2: Something I think #literacies chats do in conversation with thoughtful guest scholars is present asset based lenses for many types of learners - once you learn to see the deficit lenses here, it’s easier to spot them in research 🧐
