Task #1 - Theory in Practice



After reading through the articles, I understand that new literacies are digital literacies such as the Internet, messaging, blogging, video chatting and e-books and much more. The goal of new literacies is to enable students to function successfully in an advanced information age. Our evolving technological world demands that students learn to use more technology in and out of school on a daily basis. The importance of new literacies is that it helps motivate students and engage them in their education. Many developed countries around the world are making new literacy an integral part of their education system. In addition to using traditional literacies, we must incorporate new literacies in the classrooms in diverse ways to help our students become fully literate for the future.
