New Technologies of Literacy



Web 2.0 refers to a perceived or proposed generation of Internet-based services - such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies - that emphasize Internet-based sharing among users. Wikipedia




The continuously changing technologies of literacy mean that we must help children learn how to learn new technologies of literacy. In fact, the ability to learn continuously changing technologies for literacy may be a more critical target than learning any particular technology of literacy itself.

  1. Just read this post. I took a course on new literacy using Leu's text. What a powerful resouce. I was also able to lead a Summer Insitute on New Literacies for New Times in my district. I hope that new literacies is apart of new teachers training. Thanks for highlighting this vital information.
