ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the production of digital geographies as essential everyday literacies with import for learning. It conceptualizes literacies as fundamentally social meaning-making practices that include the reading and writing of all kinds of texts, and sees the practices as inevitably mobile. The chapter argues that the imbrications of virtual and physical in the reading and writing of the world can be productively theorized as digital geographies and that conceptualizing digital geographies as emerging and essential literacies on the move impacts educators, designers, and researchers in investigating and designing everyday teaching and learning. It focuses on mobilities, building toward the relationship between mobility and digital geographies. The chapter focuses on writing-with mobile bodies-by describing few exemplars of the experience of writing within digital geographies. It surveys locative media experiences as exemplars of literacies and writing practices in digital geographies.
