"Podcasting, RSS, blogs, IM, hyperlinks, Myspace.com--if you are not at least familiar with these terms, you have already been swept aside by the current carrying most young adults through their daily dose of 21st-century communications." So begins a compelling look at multiple literacies as Marge Ford, English language arts teacher and library/media specialist, examines what new literacies involve, how students figure into these new literacies, and how teachers and librarians can help students develop a critical eye as they navigate these new literacies. Audio and video clips are linked from within the article while a list of resources and references are included later. (author/ebm)
