ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses the digital literacy practices of Sara, Anne, and Paulo as 'buried' deep within their set tasks, like matryushka dolls within moments of literacy. It focuses on student practices as the locus of inquiry allows us to see and value the innovation that students exhibit as they manoeuvre through complex tasks that they have been assigned and how they can ultimately reimagine knowledge through their digital literacies. The book argues that curation is a latent form of digital literacy which should be sufficiently acknowledged in education and can even be part of the evaluation and design of assignment tasks as part of an evolving notion of 21st-century skills. This is because digital curation, as part of writing and knowledge creation, necessitates discernment of online content and critical thinking.
