A few articles that are pertinent to this conversation: "Orchestrating the Media Collage," "Let's Talk 2.0," and "The Importance of Deep Reading." Big ideas from these articles include: <br />Modern literacy means the ability to "consume and produce words through reading and writing, listening and speaking." <br />A technological society requires "digital literacy," the ability to read and write a number of new media forms including sound, graphics, and moving images in addition to text. <br />Digital literacy means being able to integrate media into a "single narrative or 'media collage' (Web page, blog, digital story). <br />Digital literacy calls for effective writing skills and the ability to employ critical thinking more so than ever.<br />Literacy 2.0 and Web 2.0 requires students to employ 21st century skills (collaboration and networking, effective oral and written communication, assessing and analyzing information, curiousity and imagination to name a few)<br />Concerns about the digital culture's impact on thinking and learning are similar to those raised in ancient Greece during the transition from an oral to a written culture. Socrates is said to have warned against learner to read because he thought that literacy could alter the kind of memory and "probative processes required for deep pursuit and internalization of knowledge."Kathy Codiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994612218246036505noreply@blogger.com
