DIGITAL REVOLUTION & CONVERGENCE CULTURE

Below you will find several Vines recorded during 2014's National Day on Writing Event. One part of the event involved students using Vine to tell their "6-Second Literacy Narrative," while others respond to the prompt "Why I Write," both of which you will see here. I've chosen this Vine stream as my artifact for the ePortfolio because they embody many of the key concepts we've taken up in this course. They take up the term, "literacy," for instance in relation to their own lives. Additionally, these Vines are digital compositions posted on social media. Subsequently, they are networked and shared outside of the original context of their composition. While some of these Vines are more compelling than others, I think they offer an interesting look at one way that we can understand literacy in the digital age.
