DESCRIPTION:Children's literacy now moves in fluid and slippery ways\, in 
 contrast to encounters with the relatively permanent features of paper and
  ink. This presentation explores the implications of some of these changes
  and\nlooks at literate encounters on a behavioural spectrum that runs fro
 m tinkering and experimenting at one end all the way to thinking and criti
 quing at the other.  All new ways of thinking about literacy\, of course\,
  are developed in a context that still includes the stability offered by p
 aper and ink\, so children must learn to move between the fixed and the fl
 uid.\n\nMargaret Mackey is a Professor Emerita with the School of Library 
 and Information Studies at the University of Alberta in Canada.  Her most 
 recent book\, _One Child Reading:  My Auto-Bibliography _( 2016) was\nname
 d as the Scholarly and Academic Book of the Year by the Book Publishers As
 sociation of Alberta in 2017.
