The document discusses merging traditional literacy teaching with digital literacies for the 21st century. It outlines how students now need to develop skills like managing multiple streams of information, creating and sharing multimedia texts, and collaborating globally. Various digital tools are presented that can complement foundational literacies like reading, writing, speaking and listening in authentic ways. Blogging, social networking, online books and podcasting are given as examples that engage students and allow them to connect beyond the classroom. The document encourages teachers to take risks with digital literacies and learn alongside students.
