    I am not sure if this pertains to 'literacy skills'. Are we supposed to be talking about DIGITAL literacy skills specifically? Cause the statement we are supposed to support seems to make that unclear.

    I don't think it is DIGITAL literacy skills specifically. I think its just literacy skills and how technology that accesses the internet affects those skills. I also think this article does have a good correlation as it relates to increased internet use has not led to decline in book sales.

  • literacy

    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.

  • Although literacy learning on the Internet involves the basic processes of comprehending and writing text, it differs from print-based literacy
  • Reading and writing text online is highly interactive. Writing becomes more fluent as students engage in online dialogues
  • Information research becomes a critical reading process useful for sorting through volumes of online texts to find and synthesize reliable data, rather than a memorization of the print encyclopedia.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Reading through hypertexts or interactive multimedia is an active process in which the reader develops an internal narrator who synthesizes meaning and decides which link to follow next and why.
  • I had seen and heard much about the impact of computers on literacy, but the Internet seemed to make a quantum leap over word processing and interactive multimedia CD-ROMs.
  • Teachers said they observed that Internet-based activities make reading enjoyable for students
  • Internet use enables students to engage in collaborative discussions and authentic information research experiences that enhance understanding of content.
  • Our results also indicated that higher-order literacy skills, such as organizing information research around a research question, comparing and contrasting, and evaluating and synthesizing information into new and meaningful structures, are important uses of the Internet in literacy education.
  • found three primary areas in which the Internet provides curricular benefits.
  • fostering self-directed literacy learning habits among students, which researchers and teachers indicated are not only vital to, but also achievable through, Internet-based literacy learning.
  • This chapter includes a discussion of the vital role the Internet plays in literacy education for students growing up to live and work in networked cultures of the 21st century as well as historical and cultural technology trends that influence the current nature of literacy and approaches to learning.

  • 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.'

    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.
