This month’s English Journal is a themed issue on New Literacies. I’m pleased that a hyperlinked version of our column, entitled "Linkin’ (B)Logs: A New Literacy of Hyperlinks" is available for free via the EJ website. Regular readers of the blog will have seen much of the content before, as some of it originally appeared here, but hey, now it’s in print, so it’s an important text for scholarly perusal, as opposed to just a blog post. #
Enjoy. #
Hyperlinks huh? How about the new clickable 2D Barcodes that work like hyperlinks you can put anywhere – buildings trees, cars, advertising billboards, business cards. They are set to revolutionise lots of things. For instance you can whack up a small card with a 1.7cm barcode for people to scan with their mobile phone and it takes you to an entry in Wikipedia.
