I guess we're going to find out whether ideas that I have in the middle of the night, along with domain purchases, are a good idea 😅

Introducing my first zine, coming Q3 2026:

Ah, the good ol' days of 'view source' helping teach people how to make the web.

This was a *literacy* tool. You could see the layer underneath the interface. AI has no equivalent.

So what comes after web literacy? https://blog.dougbelshaw.com/after-web-literacy/

I *told* you that I had another post in me about "tasteslop"!

In this post, I show how tasteslop is elegant consumption applied to cultural capital.

Legitimate digital literacies, just like real taste, require proof of work, productive friction, and small communities. Not smooth tools.

Emily Segal has coined "tasteslop" for AI-generated work that looks tasteful but is extracted from the social relations that give taste meaning.

I think the same logic runs through education. Literacy-slop is the credential without the community of practice, the qualification without the learning. It satisfies the classifier and nothing else.

The report from Tactical Tech focuses on Digital Media Literacy (DML), exploring its complexities and the challenges associated with how it’s assessed. It delves into the role of teachers and educators, hopefully once and for all dismissing the notion of “digital natives” and “digital non-natives”. The report emphasises that both teachers and […]

👋 Hi, I'm Doug and I live in the northeast of England. I'm a husband, father, and member of a co-operative I helped get started six years ago.

I work at the intersection of learning, technology, and community. I've previously been an independent consultant, worked at Mozilla on #OpenBadges and #WebLiteracy, and in schools as a teacher and Higher Education as a researcher/analyst.

I wrote my doctoral thesis on #digitalliteracies.

When I'm not working, I like 🏔️🏕️⚽🥃
