Response to "Expanding the Concept of Literacy"

Daley's main argument in this piece is very intriguing.Daley argues that literacy should now include the abiltiy to understand and analyze interactive media, and show not just be about understanding the written word. But she also argues that it is important that we are taught how to analyze interactive media- and not just assume we know how to truly analyze it. While I think the ability to read and write is extremely important, in today's world it is just as important to be able to understand and analyze interactive media- because it is, as Daley says "the most common methods of receiving information, communicating with one another and entertaining (our)selves"(34). For a class like English 308 it is obviously important that we not only have the ability to produce this media- but also learn how to analyze it.
