Digital Literacies and Web Literacies: What’s the Difference?
from DML Central by jbrazil
Doug Belshaw
I?m currently iterating some work around Web Literacies for the Mozilla Foundation (you can see the latest version of my thinking here). Perhaps the biggest consideration when dealing with so-called ?New? Literacies is distinguishing them from one another. As I’ve discussed many times before, without some clear thinking on this issue both theorists and practitioners alike tend to talk past one another using imprecise terminology. What I want to consider in this post is the relationship between Digital literacies and Web literacies. Aren?t they just synonyms?

Neal Stephenson’s Some Remarks, a remarkable essay collection
from Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow
Neal Stephenson is a talented essayist, a fact that anyone who read his seminal

Reading Academic PDFs on the iPad (Tools We Use)
from Savage Minds: Notes and Queries in Anthropology ? A Group Blog by Kerim
Last December I wrote a post, Reading Fast, Reading Slow, which covered the various tools I use in my digital workflow depending on the kind of reading I?m doing. Today I want to update that with an in-depth look at what I had referred to as ?slow? reading, focusing especially on texts which I have available in PDF format. This workflow assumes you have an Apple desktop computer, an iPad and the following software: Sente for OS X, Sente for iOS, Goodreader for iOS, a Dropbox account and an Evernote account. This is not a review of any of these tools, although the strengths and limitations of Sente are discussed in terms of how they help or hinder this specific workflow. I don?t by any means consider this to be an ideal workflow, but after having experimented and researched numerous options based on the tools which are currently available, this is the one that works best for me.
