If I understand what the new literacies are about, it's really about making sure that there is work to show for the students and their grades. It becomes increasingly harder to document what the students are doing once instruction is one to one with a laptop. We need to make sure that the students are still demonstrate the proper standards while still using laptops. It is also important that we are guiding new students, who are new to digital literacy, who also might be used to older literacies. The article says the new literacies that are coming up are ones such as gaming softwares, this is interesting because so many students now have access to games not only on gaming consoles, but also on their cell phones.
