Your descriptions of the connections between the different forms of digital literacy really allowed me to see how they connect in a classroom environment. Do you think staying up-to-date with technology is the biggest challenge in teaching these new literacies? Also, I love that digitalliteracy.us site - and will love it even more when they have more resources (I think they're just getting started). Another great site for new literacy research is http://newlit.org/ - a multidisciplinary collaboration at North Carolina State University. Their Ning site brings together many voices and ideas for classroom implementation.
Your graphic representation looks great! I like it when you said "it seems we all need to beeducating ourselves and become lifelong learners with our future generations" in your document. Truly, to keep up with the demands of the 21st century, everybody, not just educators, need to become lifelong learners. Whoever doesn't might end up feeling at lost with the world and left behind. Thanks for sharing your insight!
