how do you define literacy

The definition, and our associated opinions, no doubt vary widely, based on our own experiences, knowledge and prejudices:
Specifically what kind of literacy is being measured? Let’s see the effect on SAT reading and writing scores. Let’s see book sales data demographically.

space: public v. private
21Nov08How do you define [your] space - public v. private, physical v. virtual? This is something that I’m continually pondering as I reassess my involvement in various physical and virtual communities. There is only so much time in a day, and I strive to ensure that my participation is intentional and focused. There are public [...]
