- The document discusses the importance of developing three types of technological literacies in students: functional literacy, critical literacy, and rhetorical literacy. Functional literacy involves basic computer skills while critical and rhetorical literacies encourage students to see technology as socially constructed and engage in reflective technology design. - Developing all three literacies is important for students to fully participate in technology. The document suggests using collaborative learning and creating shared digital spaces through tools like discussion boards to help develop these literacies. Instructors should focus on collaborative rather than just cooperative assignments and activities.
