    Mentor Texts - I love the way this website is organized. Click on the type of mentor text you are looking for, and it takes you to a list of books with a summary, review, recommended ages, sample text, strategies to practice, and other books that go well with it.

    This is a great site with various battles and war generals turned into digital stories. It would better suit upper elementary because of the large amounts of text and potentially difficult-to-interpret graphics.

      And wonder where they get the idea that "funds are plentiful" in education?  Hmm...
  • The greatest challenge is moving beyond the glitz and pizzazz of the flashy technology to teach true literacy in this new milieu. Using the same skills used for centuries—analysis, synthesis, and evaluation—we must look at digital literacy as another realm within which to apply elements of critical thinking.

      This is really true; just because students may be "digitally savvy" doesn't mean they are competent/scholarly users of these digital technologies.

  • Digital literacy represents a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment, with “digital” meaning information represented in numeric form and primarily for use by a computer. Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media (text, sound, images), to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. According to Gilster,5 the most critical of these is the ability to make educated judgments about what we find online.

      It's interesting how they emphasize the higher orders of thinking here-analyze, judge, apply, evaluate, etc.  There's probably lots of room for creative thinking within digital literacy, too.  
  • Visual literacy, referred to at times as visual competencies, emerges from seeing and integrating sensory experiences. Focused on sorting and interpreting—sometimes simultaneously—visible actions and symbols, a visually literate person can communicate information in a variety of forms and appreciate the masterworks of visual communication.6 Visually literate individuals have a sense of design—the imaginative ability to create, amend, and reproduce images, digital or not, in a mutable way. Their imaginations seek to reshape the world in which we live, at times creating new realities. According to Bamford,7 “Manipulating images serve[s] to re-code culture.”

      Ah ha!  There's the bit about creative thinking.  They just give it a different name: visual literacy.  
  • Competency begins with understanding
  • The idea that the world we shape in turn shapes us is a constant.
  • In the end, it seems far better to have the skills and competencies to comprehend and discriminate within a common language than to be left out, unable to understand

      I think this definitely is true, and is a good reason why we need to incorporate digital literacy in the classroom. 
  • the concept of literacy has assumed new meanings.
  • Children learn these skills as part of their lives, like language, which they learn without realizing they are learning it.3
  • A common scenario today is a classroom filled with digitally literate students being led by linear-thinking, technologically stymied instructors.

    Right now, teachers can download Storia & five e-books for free on Scholastic's website. Many books have interactive elements with the text and I think they can all also be read to you. It also keeps a Reading Report of time spent reading, what books were reading, how many words were looked up, etc.

  • Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.
