Study Notes
New Literacies and the Challenge of Mindsets
- 'New' literacies are linked to evolving mindsets, representing a crucial component of a broader literacy development process.
- Mindsets are perspectives, frames of reference, or viewpoints through which individuals interpret the world, driving their experiences, interpretations, and responses.
- Mindsets comprise assumptions, beliefs, values, and habitual approaches.
- A strong mindset can limit the ability to appreciate alternative viewpoints.
Contemporary Fracturing of Space
- Mindsets influence how individuals experience and respond to the world.
- Mindsets can represent entrenched perspectives that limit consideration of other viewpoints.
Elaborating Mindsets

- A physical-industrial mindset values material commodities, estimating value based on tangible qualities.
- A non-physical informational/post-industrial perspective prioritizes digital content and intangible value, like data on a hard drive.
- Historical context has major implications for current perspectives.
- The example of a laptop computer's value illustrates dramatic differences in how value is assessed.
- Analyzing censorship on the internet reveals distinct approaches based on physical or digital perspectives.
Mindsets in Educational Settings

- The world is now characterized by a significant blend of physical and digital space.
