NCLE Report: Remodeling Literacy Learning | Literacy in Learning Exchange - 0 views

  •  
    Key findings from the NCLE survey, explored in more detail in the body of the report, yield the following conclusions about how US educators are currently working together to meet rising literacy expectations and how best to support them going forward. Literacy is not just the English teacher's job anymore. Working together is working smarter. But schools aren't structured to facilitate educators working together. Many of the building blocks for remodeling literacy learning are in place. Effective collaboration needs systemic support.

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills - ICT Literacy Maps - 0 views

  • In collaboration with several content area organizations, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills developed a series of ICT Literacy Maps illustrating the intersection between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Literacy and core academic subjects including English, mathematics, science and social studies (civics/government, geography, economics, history). The maps enable educators to gain concrete examples of how ICT Literacy can be integrated into core subjects, while making the teaching and learning of core subjects more relevant to the demands of the 21st century.

Authors - ELT and the Crisis in Education: Digital Reading Skills | Delta Publishing - ... - 7 views

    "We take it for granted as English language teachers that we need to develop our students' reading skills, but in most cases the nearest our students get to reading online is a printed version of a web page pre selected by their teacher. At best they may actually get to see a pre selected page on the screen of a computer, but is this enough to really develop their digital literacies?"

Literacyworks: Improving Literacy Skills through Comic Books - 1 views

  • One of the tenets of literacy programs is that people will learn more when it's related to a subject that interests them. Voice of America reports that educators in New York are applying that idea with their grade-school students by offering opportunities to create comic books. Michael Bitz, who created the Comic Book Project, acknowledges that it's difficult to determine a definite link between the project and its effect on students' literacy skills, but the program focuses just as much on the writing of comic books as the artwork. But the success of the program is clear: engage students with subjects that interest them, and they'll show dedication to learning.

    Essentially, everyone is a commercial director and the product is yourself.
  •  
    The title of this blog post is THIS is a 21st Century Skill. The author discusses the fact that the ability to make a comprehensible, on-message, and appealing video is becoming a literacy. Is this new? No, not the communication piece, but the medium is new as a universal. Essentially, everyone is a commercial director and the product is yourself.

ReadWriteThink: Lesson Plan: Buzz! Whiz! Bang! Using Comic Books to Teach Onomatopoeia - 0 views

  •  
    Comic books can be useful tools in improving literacy and teaching even reluctant readers some of the terminology typically associated with other forms of text. In this lesson, students will be introduced to onomatopoeia, which describes words that imitate the natural sound associated with an action or an object. Using comic books and strips, students will find onomatopoetic words, develop a vocabulary list from the words, and discuss why writers, especially writers of comics, use onomatopoeia. Students then use an online tool to create their own comic strips using onomatopoeia.
