II begins today Leer.es Congress this year under the title "Reading to learn . New Literacies." For two days we will share the space of the National Library to talk about education and reading, new literacies, media literacy, media convergence, critical reading and many other topics. If you want to follow the conference via Twitter, the hashtag is # leer10 and you can see some of the papers at the Congress website.

Leer.es team has organized an interesting conference, inaugurated at this time Gloria Perez-Salmeron and Minister Ángel Gabilondo, who has had a very interesting speech, winks at the world of blogs and tweets, positive outlook on new technologies, reading as a curiosity and a shared thinking, reading and critical attitude.

The first paper is by José Manuel Pérez Tornero with the title "New literacies and new readings."
Step

Twitter to narrate how his paper:
  • Pérez Tornero takes the words of Minister Gabilondo, who has referred to the "toilet Proust" and says that "there is no peace."
    • seems to be no time / space for reflection and reading.
    • Can our culture sustain itself without the time / space for reading?
    • But we are not in decline, but in a profound change which we must respond with courage.
  • trends and phases in media literacy
    • access and connectivity
    • basic skills in the use of PC and Internet
    • needs of specific groups in the use
    • Quality
  • Three features of the environment in which we live :
    • A global communications network.
    • There is a total memory capacity.
    • Technologies now allow universal access to the global network and the total memory, even with the unequal distribution of resources and there are many excluded.
  • The LIBROcentrismo gives way to PANTALLAcentrismo.
    • Each carries a series of virtual environments with him. The "reality" will be a screen.
  • What is literacy?
    • Beyond the definition that links orality and literacy, literacy is access to the world of knowledge and science.
    • But literacy has never been single text: the writer recovers and amplifies the oral tradition through the text, which has always been linked with the iconic, with the images.
    • images are always a tool for reading comprehension.
    • Literacy has been and is always plural includes plural semiotics.
    • Reading
    • plural has interpretive jurisdiction
    • media competition and the plural reading is accompanied by a plural writing.
    • Reading also has to be critical. Having
      • information is not the same as having "wisdom." Understanding is needed.
      • have to be critical to the environment and also with technology. We need distance not to be fascinated by the technology without making a critical reading.
    • Media literacy:
      • three main areas:
        • Media Education and Skills
        • critical and creative skills
        • Participation and active citizenship
    • The ecological principle of media literacy: family and friends , city, school, media and global society.
A great start to the Congress Leer.es this inaugural lecture José Manuel Pérez Tornero. If you want to see some of the ideas that today we mentioned, you might like to see this presentation of Media Literacy Workshop (Malaga, June 2010) in which, among other things, details the indicators that from June 2011 are used for the evaluation of media competition in Europe.
