New Literacies • In May 2009, the IRA Board of Directors adopted a position statement titled “New Literacies and the 21st Century Technologies,” which noted that in order “to become fully literate in today’s world, students must become proficient in the literacies of the 21st century technologies” (p. 1). IRA proposed literacy educators have a responsibility to integrate information and communication technologies into the curriculum, to prepare students for the future.
Cont. • “The new literacies include the skills, strategies, and insights necessary to successfully exploit the rapidly changing information and communication technology that continually emerge in our world.” p. 313
Research says….. • We must teach children to learn how to learn new technologies • New literacies are dependent on the ability to critically evaluate information (accuracy) • N. L. include the new forms of strategic knowledge necessary to locate, evaluate and use resources available • N. L. are highly social (FB) • Globalization….. • N. L. build on but do not replace previous literacies
Internet • Motivation for students • “Internet is arguably the most powerful technology available to support reading and writing experiences in the classroom.” p. 323
