Literacy Practices are the multitude of ways that people written language throughout life. Additionally, "as a means of focusing upon "social practices and conceptions of reading and writing", although I later elaborated the term to take into account both "events" in Heath's sense and of the social models of literacy that participants bring to bear upon those events and that give meaning to them (Street, 1988)."

This is the practice of teaching about social justice. This is framed as "the pursuit of equity, agency, cultural relevance, and critical literacy. Developing a curriculum that builds on students’ funds of knowledge (Moll, Amanti, Neff, & Gonzalez, 1992) provides access to digital tools, explores social issues, and creates a plat-form for sharing information with others reflects how our team merged this theory into practice."

Digital tools are online or technological platforms, such as Scratch, Padlet, etc. that amplify student engagement and inquiry.
"Digital tools can support students’ pursuit of knowledge and help them to be better problem solvers and critical thinkers. Digital tools created space for students to curate the messages they wanted to convey about social issues."

Transmediation includes moving one sign system into a whole new medium, which allows for 'revisions' and it see it in a new way.
"Transmediation engages student writers in generative and reflective thinking, enabling them to create connections between sign systems (Siegel, 1995). Transmediation also encourages abduction, which is a form of logic built on intuitiveness and insight."

Multimodial learning allows for students to interact with material utilizing different forms, and from different viewpoints. It allows students "to develop the ability to interpret and communicate information visually through the use of images, photos, graphs, or figures (Shanahan et al., 2011)."

Inquiry based learning calls on students to investigate and come to their own conclusions , are curious, and question what they are learning.  "We use the term inquiry to denote learners who raise questions about everything all the time without regard to finding the “right answer.” For us, becoming a social justice inquirer means creating a process for promoting intellectualism and advocacy that helps students recognize their ability to pursue their interests and nurture their curiosity about an issue of importance in their life."

Critical literacy advocates for readers to analyze what they are reading, as well as promoting a critical approach to socially constructed concepts (equality, power). "The concept of critical literacy reminds us that literacy is not a discipline restricted to academic skill development; instead, it is a competency that connects us to other people and to society as the source of all communication and social action."

The digital turn has been a widespread effect that has impacted the digital practices in everyday life, as well as the classroom. This includes more technology incorporated into curriculum and practices.
"The increased attention to new literacy practices in digital environments across a variety of social contexts, such as workplaces and educational, economic, and recreational sites. The digital turn—a pun on Gee’s (2000, p. 180) “social turn” in literacy research—is a consequence of globalization and the growing range of technologies for communication."

In terms of literary studies, the Internet is the primary source for literacy interaction with others.
"We have argued that the Internet and related technologies now define the new literacies that increasingly are a part of our literacy lives. Put simply, a central principle of New Literacies theory is that the Internet has become this generation’s defining technology for literacy in our global community"

Social Media are online platforms and can be used as a form of digital literacy for engagement, up-to date information, and social justice. "Across the United States, basic access to digital production tools and the Internet was found to be a precondition for youth participation in popular networked publics. Social media play a vital role in sustaining peer culture, gradually replacing the role played by informal geographical meeting sites,

such as malls, homes, or the street."
