layerings

welcome to our blog ... our public writing space ... where we can reflect, think, discuss, argue, develop our individual & collective thoughts about technologies, particularly those involved in writing and literacy. we'll be immersed in philosophical, theoretical, practical, & empirical considerations of literacy technologies over the course of the next several months, and our emerging (& burgeoning) understandings will surely layer onto earlier readings & discussions & our lived experiences. this blog can be center of those layerings ... some of the work here will be required, some of it will be spur of the moment, some of it will be self-sponsored. hopefully a lot of it will be multimodal (surely an overused word but one which suggests the multiplicity of communicative possibilities available here - especially when thinking about writing technologies in our digital age, this range of modes should serve to shore up, reveal, and complicate our arguments). i'm looking forward to learning from you all as summer dwindles into fall and winter ... pt
