Literacies for the Digital Age

I have identified thirteen literacies that our students need to become well-rounded 21st-century citizens. These literacies are not taught as separate literacies but are taught across the content areas.

If you find a link that is not working, please let me know the title and I will fix it! Thank you!

PRESENTATION SLIDE SHOW (2014)


DEVELOPING DIGITAL LITERACIES: A FRAMEWORK FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

There is a new book out, Developing Digital Literacies, by Dustin Summey. He presents a well-crafted, technology professional development model that is sound in practice, adaptable, and can be easily implemented at the local level. And, as an added bonus, he includes a new digital literacies framework which surrounds the professional development structure and is a stellar model for framing the teaching and learning of the important 21st century skill-set for both educators and students.

Below I have included the five components of the digital literacies model and have included mobile apps that can be utilized by students and teachers for acquisition of the skill-set.
