Welcome to NewLits.orgNewLits.org is a wiki space created to collaboratively develop a rich range of specialist resources for middle school language arts/literacy educators (typically Grades 5 to 8). These resources focus variously and broadly on new literacies and digital technologies. “New literacies” in the sense used here are literacy practices mediated by digital technologies (e.g., blogging, gaming, social networking), or that are newly recognized as literacies due to their increased ubiquity as a practice (e.g., fanfiction writing, live action role-plays). read on... |

Let's RemixOne way of becoming involved in this wiki is to click on the red "discussion" tab at the top of each screen and have your say in response to what you've read/viewed/listened to on that page (just click on the tab and you're away). You can also upload your own remix of one or more of the contributing authors' papers above. "Remix" means to take cultural artifacts and combine and manipulate them into new kinds of creative blends. read on... |
