2018, Reading Today
he world has moved stealthily away from our linear past; today, we live in a nonlinear world where the definition of literacy is ever evolving and continuously shifting. The dynamics have changed; reading, writing, listening, and learning have become nonlinear activities. The transformation was silent, but the impact will be significant, especially for our students. The crux of our work is ensuring we are preparing our students for the workplaces of the future. This is no simple task considering that most jobs they will hold have not been created yet. However, the 21st-century skills necessary for the success of our learners are known. In this article, we, as three scholars, reflect on how the instructional shift on 21st-century literacies is shaping the research focus and dissertation studies of researchers committed to social and educational equity.
This was an essay Joshua Caton and I were invited to write for the Ohio Resource Center's magazine Adolescent Literacies in Perspective. In brief, we make an argument based on our teaching experiences for shifting our focus to the social/literacy practices within which technology use is embedded rather than focusing on the transformative affordances of the technology itself. Though this is not a new argument, it is one Josh and I feel we don't read/hear enough in discussions with English teachers about new literacies, digital literacies, and/or 21st century literacies.

In Search of the Meaning and Purpose of 21st-Century Literacy Learning: A Critical Review of Research and Practice2020 •
In response to widespread interest in 21st-century learning across the educational landscape, the authors explored the extent to which the concept possesses clear definition and coherent meaning within both research discourse and K–12 classroom practice in the United States, particularly with regard to conceptualizations and enactments of literacy. This research review offers descriptive data about the subject areas and grade levels in which 21st-century learning efforts are concentrated, analyzes the literacy frameworks employed to guide pedagogy, and describes instructional practices most frequently associated with the concept. Further, this research review explores the role of digital tools in the enactment of 21st-century learning, including how often teachers are leveraging the collaborative and interactive affordances of those tools. By leveraging a critical analytic framework, findings indicate a dearth of classroom-based research emphasizing democratic engagement and equity within 21st-century learning, as well as a hesitancy to use digital literacies to connect with wider publics. Analysis suggests a weakly defined understanding of what literacy learning in the 21st century means in classrooms today, which speaks to the need for a stronger focus on social futures.
