Concept and Importance of New Literacies
All the Articles focus on the rapid changes in technology and how students will experience even more
changes in their Literacy Journeys. Today's teachers need to be prepared because the old traditional
definition of reading, writing, and communication have changed drastically. In order to prepare the
students for 21st century skills, old traditions need to be abandoned and teachers need to be prepared
with how to use technology in the classroom. Instruction, assessment, and professional development
for educators need to be on going as new literacy skills and practices are required for our students to
be successful. Teachers need to have an open mind and new perspective to integrate this technology
into their current lessons. Schools also need to prepare teachers and revise their curriculum to offer
opportunities to incorporate ICTs. Students need to know how to use the internet to find information
and do research. Students also need to be prepared on how to critically evaluate the relevancy, and
accuracy of online information. Teachers need to participate in technology-based planning and teaching
to meet their students academic needs in all content areas. Teachers need to bring a new mindset to the
classroom and be prepared to integrate technology. Teachers, parents, and school administrators will
need to support school-wide initiatives to provide up-to-date technology resources for all students.
These changes to Literacy are fundamental to enable individuals to seize life opportunities. Work is
being characterized by the effective use of information to solve problems within a globally competitive
economy. This preparation to ensure higher levels of literacy achievement is necessary so that the
workplace today has employees that are effective problem solvers and can work collaboratively. It is
essential for our future and economy.
