Chapter 3 of New Literacies was an intriguing exploration of the myriad ways that recent technology has facilitated new literacies. This leads into an almost inevitable question on page 59 that asks why new literacy practices through technology (digital content creation, social media, etc.) frequently aren’t considered important—especially in comparison to traditional reading and writing.
