What is literacy and what does it mean for teachers? As technology changes, teachers need to keep up with many many things in order to stay “literate”. Here is a great article about what that might mean.
“Twenty First Century readers and writer must:
- Develop proficiency with the tools of technology
- Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally
- Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes
- Manage, analyze and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information
- Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multi-media texts
- Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments”
This is a direct quote from the NCTE.org site. Are you keeping up?
