After being in this class, i have a much more open view and idea of what literacy is. I walked into this classroom first thinking that literacy was just the idea of learning and being able to read and write, more so involved with books. But now i know that literacy is more than just books and papers. I know that literacy can be used with technology for example, cell phones, computers, etc. Literacy also doesnt necessarily mean jus readingĀ and reading, but is also the concept of understanding how to do something. I’ve realized that literacy comes in many different forms and not everyone has the same literacies, and people can possess more than one literacy at a time, and we use these literacies everyday in life.

I agree with you that my new knowledge of literacy involves a much broader definition than what I came into the class with. I also thought that literacy just dealt with reading and writing. But, now I see that different types of literacy’s are all around us.
