11: Connecting across literacies

Week 11 (November 13)

The interdisciplinary potential of CS is a major motivation for framing K-12 CS education in terms of literacies. Building on Week 7's analysis of mediated identities and Week 11's exploration of how we can support critical action, Week 12 considers a transliteracies perspective, asking what happens when practices move across literacies.
