The title of the twenty-eighth yearbook mirrors the theme of the 2005 conference--"Learning in the 21st Century with Traditional and Electronic Literacies." The editors chose the title "Multiple Literacies in the 21st Century" in an attempt to reflect the contents of this yearbook which seem to approach literacy from a myriad of ways. The keynotes portray this multiplicity. In his presidential address, Jon Shapiro shares a personal account of literacy that reminds everyone of each learner's individual journey.
