Today, January 1, all three of these terms have been enlarged, modified and changed significantly as the world grows more digital. The trio of words reminds me first of Louise Rosenblatt's The reader, The text and The poem.
Text, well who would imagine I could access so many letters and words on my phone? I still love books, have a large collection and want to advocate for their continued existence and vitality. At the time I studied, I was arguing that there are many texts, and now NCTE has papers on multi-modal literacies.
Space, mmm, how much space do you have on your hard drive? What have we learned about digital spaces? This is a huge idea. I imagined space for me was time and freedom to explore ideas. How has this changed? How have spaces grown and shrunk? What do they require of us as learners?
Voice, still fascinates me. I am a bit bewildered by folks who are so much more at ease creating a digital persona (voice) and still I am drawn to voices I hear as genuine. How do you discover your voice and use it in a media saturated world? Just because it's out there (in a blog, maybe) does that count as a voice? I know some of them feel like genuine voices. I consistently love to read Chris Glass. He makes me think, see and finally motivate me! According to technorati, there are 15.5 million active blogs?
