Editor's Notes
- Responsibilities: Teachers have the responsibility to prepare their students to successfully meet the social, political, and economical demands of their futures.The definition of “Digital Literacy” has expanded from merely being able to use computer devices and software to locate and use information, to now being able to gather information from any format and, more importantly being able to make sense of that information, use it, and communicate it to others (Roblyer/ Doering 267). Students are living in an information overload, They can find out just about anything within seconds because it’s right at their fingertips: email and ebooks; web pages and podcasts; blogs, vlogs, instant messaging, Twitter feeds, Wikis, etc. Informational Literacy is knowing how to pilfer through that pile of information and recognize when it’s legitimate, when it’s something they can believe and actually use.
- All of this technology and information requires a higher level of sophistication from our students and it’s only through a higher level of instruction and through their experience that they can develop these skills.
- Diverse LearnersCultural and linguistic diversity has created a much richer classroom, but on the same hand a much more complex classroom and has presented English and Language Arts teachers with the challenge of working with students who are learning English as a second or even third language, and also with students who simply struggle to read. It is paramount to create a strong literacy foundation for these student to enable them to succeed on into their education.Motivating students to read and writeStudents rarely choose reading as a free-time activityTeachers are turning to visual and interactive qualities of software and websites to increase motivation for reading and writing.It’s a challenge to get students to express themselves in writing.
- The modern, “networked” teacher is connected with many technological tools that are helping to define today’s digital literacy. For these visions to be fully realized, teachers must receive continued and systematic development, and take responsibility for learning how to use these technologies effectively in the curriculum.
