Why Web Literacy Should Be Part of Every Education | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and... - 0 views

  •  
    "Like reading, writing, and arithmetic, web literacy is both content and activity. You don't just learn "about" reading: you learn to read. You don't just learn "about" arithmetic: you learn to count and calculate. You don't just learn "about" the web: you learn to make your own website. As with these other three literacies, web literacy begins simply, with basics you can build upon. For some it can lead to a profession (i.e. becoming a computer programmer) while for most it becomes part of the conceptual DNA that helps you to understand and negotiate the world you live in."

    "Storify provides endless possibilities for combining media to tell more comprehensive narratives that include multiple perspectives. And while the tool has largely received attention for its journalistic uses, it's not a big leap to see how Storify might be used in classrooms for research and presentations.
