In fact, technology makes classic pillars of language instruction, including tone, irony, and structure–not less authentic, but more. Communication is no longer limited to sentences, paragraphs, and related matters of an author’s style, but rather through the nuanced multimodalities of digital and social media: subtweets, self-deprecation, intermittent but terse bursts of reflection, light, color, #aggregation, all framed by an awkwardly personal visibility. Put another way, modern literacy is about the process of extracting and communicating meaning from nuanced and dynamic media while connecting both back to the human experience.
