    Definition of Literacy Skills - "Literacy skills consist of the ability to think, listen, speak, and read and write effectively."

    This article also mentions a online service called www.bookshare.org that provides digital books to person with disabilities. Also there is programs like www.rfbd.org (recordings for the blind and dyslexic) and www.loc.gov/nls (Talking Books at the National Library Service) that they can access online have have Audio cassettes or CDs mailed to them postage-free. Even though libraries have had this content for a while the internet makes it much more accessible than ever before. I think thats the core of how technology though the internet increases literacy skills. It gives us "fingertip" access to things we would have had to physically travel for. Digital copies of books that make not even be in local library systems are easily accessible online.

  • Margaret Atwood, one of Canada's top writers, told a Toronto audience Monday that Twitter and the Internet help literacy.
  • "Thanks to the rise of the internet and of social media, 'I would say that reading, as such, has increased. And reading and writing skills have probably increased because what all this texting and so forth replaced was the telephone conversation,' she continued. 'People have to actually be able to read and write to use the internet, so it's a great literacy driver if kids are given the tools and the incentive to learn the skills that allow them to access it.'

  • Results demonstrated that improving the computer literacy of science teachers seems to increase science teachers' computer use and consequently increase their integration of computer applications as an instructional tool. Internet, email, and educational software CDs found to have high percentage in teachers' use of computer applications in the classrooms.

    View PDF for full text, but here is some of the things I would highlight: > And like anything on the Internet, it makes "consider the source" the best possible advice for Internet users.  > We need to focus on the media literacy skills necessary to decode images, and therefore empower students to make decisions about the validity of multimedia as well as text content.  > While all of this obviously increases the likelihood of students being  misled by misinformation, the other side of the story is the tremendous opportunity it provides for students to find an authentic audience for their own work.
