    I believe by showing the definition of the term literacy, that it's not only reading and writing, but knowledge in a topic itself, we can prove that the internet has much to offer on learning about specific subjects; when of course making sure the sources are credible.

      The internet can be a powerful pedagogic tool, when used with proper methodology, objectives, clear and realistic goals and harnessing it's added value for learning. This might help both the quality and diversity of classroom learning experiences to be more pertinent, significant, joyful, constructive and contextualized

      There are three kinds of internet users: beginners, advanced and experts. Beginner users are those who have basic knowledge on ICT tools, but do not manage on information selection and search systems. As a consequence, they do not successfully slove the information  needs presented to them. The Advanced users have knowledge for using tools, but they are not strategic in searching. This user is known to be a clever person, who easily use the computer at a basic level, enough to move comfortably on the internet, as well as other pieces of commonly used software. While navigating they behave low skilled and they do not know whether by not knowing or even by comfort and frequently operate in the same way. Most of the time, they can complete the searching tasks but, by being low in strategic terms they take more time and effort to achieve them.  Expert user are those who handle searching tools and moreover, they do it strategically, performing such tasks with full domain and comfort on the Internet, performing consciously intended searches, in a complex and flexible way

      PdBP students (students that were in the study) is possibly attributable to the level of experience in the present sample of participants, who often use the Internet as part of their school work and who have had many years of exposure and opportunities for informal training in the use of Internet. The results of the students show that this kind of support in infrastructure, Internet connectivity and support for the teachers in their schools can provide a valuable context for teaching and learning Web literacy skills

    > The Internet makes available many applications that help build reading  and writing skills, many of them free. In many cases, applications are so easy to use that learners can use them independently, with perhaps just a little guidance from someone more knowledgeable about reading and computers.  > The benefits are easy to see: when a person uses online resources to develop literacy skills, it also builds confidence in using computers and helps the learner to master digital literacy skills.  > View all the online sources that help with literacy that are available online.

  • Research literature throughout the past decade has shown that technology can enhance literacy development, impact language acquisition, provide greater access to information, support learning, motivate students, and enhance their self-esteem (ACT, 2004; CEO Forum, 2001; Boster et al., 2004; Mann et al., 1999; Tracey & Young, 2006; WestEd, 2002). Indeed, researchers have affirmed that computer technology provides abundant opportunities for students to build or modify their personal knowledge through the rich experiences that technology affords.

  • To be adept at seeking, evaluating, and using information found on the Internet, readers must navigate through Internet text and apply their knowledge of the reading process. The merging of these skills is seen when the Internet reader performs a reading act, such as searching the Internet for information about snowboarding.
  • Literacy and technology converge when students read on the Internet.

  • Storytelling is one of the most ancient forms of communication. Before there were cameras, computers, or even books, stories held the knowledge of all civilization. Even today, students love to read and listen to stories as a way to learn about the world and how it works. What's more, encouraging students to tell stories either orally or in print is a great way to help them practice grammar, expand their vocabulary, and share their ideas with others.In this age of multimedia, a new kind of storytelling has emerged. Digital Storytelling takes the art of storytelling and adds elements of sound, video, and photo images to create a multi-dimensional tale that draws the reader into the story. It's an excellent tool to encourage students to take their writing to a new level as well as a way to bring technology into your curriculum.
