Becoming Literate in the Information Age: Cultural Ecologies and the Literacies of Technology

Gail E. Hawisher ; Cynthia L. Selfe ; Brittney Moraski ; Melissa Pearson

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the literacy narratives of coauthors Melissa Pearson and Brittney Moraski, who came to computers almost a generation apart. Our goal is to demonstrate the importance of situating literacies of technology—and literacies more generally—within specific cultural, material, educational, and familial contexts that influence, and are influenced by, their acquisition and development.
