From NCTE

n MYTH: 21st-century literacy is about technology only.

REALITY: Although technology is important REALITY: Although technology is important to literacy in the new century, other dimensions of learning are essential, like written and oral communication skills very highly, and collaboration, work ethic, critical thinking, and leadership all rank higher than proficiency in information technology.

From NCTE

n MYTH: Teachers who use technology in their personal lives will use it in their classes.

REALITY: Teachers who use word REALITY: Teachers who use word processing, spreadsheets, presentation software, and Internet browsers at home do not bring that knowledge into the classroom. Two-thirds of all teachers report feeling under-prepared to use technology in teaching, even if they use computers to plan lessons, access model lesson plans, and create activities.

Do you agree? Why/why not?

n MYTH: Teachers need to be experts in technology in order to use it effectively in instruction.

REALITY: Effective teachers collaborate with students to understand the information landscape and think about its use. Since success with technology depends largely upon critical thinking and reflection, even teachers with relatively little technological skill can provide useful instruction.

PerspectivePerspective

READING

Reading is the practical management of the world around us.

Reading allows us to make sense of Reading allows us to make sense of our experiences.

READING

n making sense of and managing human experience and the world

n making sense of many different “texts”

Throughout history, people have “read”, have tried to make sense of, “read”, have tried to make sense of, many different kinds of “texts”

-- from the flight of birds

to facial expressions,

- from the handwriting on the wall

to the signs of the times,

- from motives

to minds,

… and then some.

Language is a way to make reading easier.

Language names the human experience that we “read”.

Language helps us “make sense” of what we experience.

Making sense is necessary for communication.

Reading is a kind of communication.

When we read, we should be able to “get” the message “sent” to us.

The way of “sending” a message has changed.

Language has changed.

Reading has changed along with it.

…AND THE CHANGE CONTINUES…

CHANGING TIMES,

CHANGING NEEDS.

CHANGING NEEDS,

CHANGING WAYS OF LIFE.

CHANGING WAYS OF LIFE,CHANGING WAYS OF LIFE,

CHANGING PURPOSES.

CHANGING PURPOSES,

CHANGING TYPES AND USES OF LANGUAGE AND LITERACY.

Remember:

Reading development is NOTa process that grows and changes by itself. It is correlated with other by itself. It is correlated with other aspects of child development -physical, cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional – among others.

Thus...

The development of 21st literacies among students does and will not grow and change by itself. Literacy, like reading, is change by itself. Literacy, like reading, is influenced by interacting factors.

Reminder!

Reading is an interactive process.
