A5: I wonder if we can have cross-over chats/gatherings that bring #literacies together with other people, conferences, organizations etc (lsp, civics of technologies)? Kind of link @clarabbott.bsky.social's idea about 'bring a friend' but bigger scale?

Amy Stornaiuolo @amystorn.bsky.social · 10mo ago

I agree! This is such an important dimension of these #literacies chats for me!

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

A3: #literacies chats have opened me up to new scholarship in ways I did not anticipate. I am more of a lurker on social media, but reading those chats, even later, always led me to more scholarship that expanded my thinking. I appreciated the intentionality of the hosts in bringing people together

I wanted to share the good news that I've been promoted to full professor and am beginning a year's sabbatical with a heavenly women's writing retreat in Amorgos. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way! You all made it possible.

🟨 New Publication in #LMT 🟪 In this article @amystorn.bsky.social & @rabani.bsky.social invite researchers to engage screencapture not only as a mode of data collection but as a site of inquiry – one that reflects, mediates, and conditions practice. Read more: tinyurl.com/3rj9s8fj

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses critical and participatory approaches to
screencapture to account for the layered, embodied, and mobile ways
people work with/across screens in a postdigital era. While
screencapture methods have been a mainstay of multimodal, video-
based research in education, there has been less theorizing of screens
as active participants in broader sociotechnical assemblages. In this
paper, we theorize screencapture from a sociomaterial lens that frames
all activity as comprised of human and technological actors acting as
dynamic participants in sociotechnical systems. We propose three
approaches to screencapture – self-generated screencapture video,
researcher-generated screencapture, and elicited screencapture – as a
heuristic for researchers to look at and not through screens. Through
three case study examples of each approach to screencapture, we trace
five critical considerations: ethics, positionality, ephemerality, layering,
and co-construction. These critical considerations emerge differently
across the three approaches to screencapture, helping researchers
challenge extractive or voyeuristic procedures for recording screens in
educational research

Love this Edutopia article by @cberwick.bsky.social ‪‪on igniting student passions! Sage quotes from @amystorn.bsky.social & @anterobot.bsky.social. Examples from ELA teachers using fandoms! Nice shout out for @karismjones.bsky.social & my book! #literacies #iteachEnglish tinyurl.com/2s4r66rs

From Superheroes to Taylor Swift: Using Students’ Passions to Ignite Learning

By inviting students to dissect the texts they love—from music lyrics to horror films—teachers are unlocking deeper engagement and critical literacy skills.

People engage/ w screens regularly in their everyday lives-recording & sharing is routine practice. @amystorn.bsky.social & I offer 3 approaches to researchers to study ways people work with/across screens. bit.ly/3ZdTEBH - Message if you are unable to access this #digitalmethods #educationresearch

Hey, I'm going to do this, and I hope you will too. Not because I think a one day pause will be a devastating blow, but because coordinated action takes practice, and if you don't do the small stuff, you will have a harder time gearing up for the big stuff.

"Economic Blackout on February 28, 2025 Take Part & Share the News
If you haven't heard there will be an economic blackout Feb 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy anything unless it's from a small business: No gas, no fast food, and definitely nothing from places like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out! We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies until our message is heart. Please spread the word! Thank you!"
