Nicholas Provenzano, a teacher, technology-curriculum specialist, a blogger, a convention presenter, etc. says that literacy is far more encompassing than "reading & writing," the standard definition of literacy in the 20th Century. He lists 3 key items that are essential to be part of students' everyday lives...
- E-mail
- Word processing
- Research
While there are many other skills important with specific digitial tools, he says these are the most basic, important, and essential to compete in a global market. He also wonders how many teachers are considered literate by today's standards?
Probably you could add to this list. What skills do you think comprise literacy in the digital world we live in? Add your own.
