  • literacy
  • especially the ability to read and write.
  • a person's knowledge of a particular subject or field: to acquire computer 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.

  • 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.'

  • 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.

  • computer literacy
  • 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.

  • increasingly clear that networked, digital technologies provide rapid access to vast amounts of information, increasing the importance of effective information use (Harrison & Stephen, 1996).
  • the globally competitive context in which we find ourselves ensures that new technologies for information and communication will continually be developed, resulting in continuously changing literacies and envisionments for literacy.

      Does 'changing' mean 'increasing'?
  • Information economies, global competition, changes in workplace settings, and new national policy initiatives make solid research, especially in educational settings, critically important as we seek insights into preparing children for their literacy futures. We require useful data in order to prepare students for new technologies and new envisionments as we explore the boundaries of an information society, increasingly dependent on networked, digital technologies for information and communication

  • Newer technologies, permitting greater control by both teachers and students as they navigate rich information resources and construct meanings appropriate to their teaching and learning needs, may permit us to overcome a fundamental paradox clear to many who studied the use of previous technologies in classrooms:
  • students who used hypermedia from an Integrated Learning System, while working within collaborative learning groups, reported significantly more positive attitudes about both math and computer math lessons than did students who worked alone using the same computer software. 
  • appropriately combined images and sound may enhance both the comprehension and the production of tex
  • If technologies continually change in the years ahead, it may become increasingly important to study teachers' envisionments of these technologies for literacy and learning.

  • 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.

  • 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.

      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
