Digital Literacies

Catalog description

Digital Literacies study focuses on the multiple relationships between how we express ourselves to one another and the multiple technological systems and networks that provide context, meaning, and shape to those expressions in both social and academic spaces. This course is designed to examine new literacies theory as it applies to teaching applications and current research on digital literacies within K-12 education. As 21st Century practitioner scholars, we are concerned with both the social aspects of literacy practices, understanding that school-based operations are inseparable from the sociocultural contexts in which they are enacted. Must be an NMSU graduate student to participate in this course.
