6. Types of Literacy Cont. Media literacy- refers to the necessary skills to access, evaluate, and create messages in written and oral language, graphics and moving images, and audio and music. Information literacy- is the ability to find, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize information.
7. Today’s Literacy Out of school, students are texting, blogging, creating rhymes, journaling or networking on Facebook and Twitter, yet some of these students do not see themselves as capable in-school readers. These students might struggle in traditional school literacy tasks and we as educators might not view them as proficient readers. By understanding and acknowledging their current practices, we give value to those practices, which may allow them to connect with the in-school literacy practices.
8. Successfully Integrating Computers Into the Literacy Curriculum 1) Introduce the title and general purpose of the computer applications and demonstrate procedures to open the application. Then state the purpose of using this program. 2) Model how to navigate through the program. 3) During this modeling, incite student to take turns operating the software as a check for understanding. 4) Add procedural reminders during the demonstration 5) Critically discuss the information, presentation of the content and the operation of the program itself.
9. Recommended Practices with Emerging and Beginning Readers Digital Language Experience Approach- provides students with the dictation of stories Digital Books- Interactive books provide children with a multimedia experience of stories and literature. Educational Television- Research indicated that children who consistently view educational programs perform better on assessments of pre-reading skills than children who watch less frequently.
10. Digital Applications For Special Populations Marino found that even though lower ability students benefitted the most from using technological tools, they were less likely to utilize them. When using electronic texts, children found they can “read” material that far exceeds their decoding ability because of the support the computer offers. Students can read books in multi-languages.
11. Recommended Practices with Skilled Readers Online discussions- This allows for students to have discussions while practicing their writing fluency. Digital Booktalks- Students plan, design, and shoot a video aimed at getting their audience to want to read a book. Digital Storytelling- A series of digital images narrated by means of an audio track.
12. New Digital Technologies Should……. Be available for literacy instruction Be used to enhance the goals of conventional literacy instruction Be used to positively transform literacy instruction Be used to prepare students for the literacy of the future Be used to empower students
