Contemporary Literacy
Online handouts for Redefining Literacy and Literacy & Learning presentations
Session Description
 As little as we know about the future for which we are preparing our students, it is clear that it will be a place that is governed by information. Accessing, processing, building with, and communicating that information is how we will all make our livings.
Being literate in this future will certainly involve the ability to read, write, and do basic math. However, the concept of literacy in the 21st century will be far richer and more comprehensive than the 3 Rs of the one room school house, a legacy that still strongly influences today's education environment.
This enlightening and thought-provoking address will make a case for a literacy model that extends out of reading, writing, and basic math to answer questions like:
- What do you need to know, when most of recorded knowledge is a mouse-click away?
- How do you distinguish between good knowledge and bad knowledge?
- What does it do to the value of information, when everyone is a producer?
- How do we address ethics, when we are empowering our students with such prevailing skills?

- The New Literacy appeared in Technology & Learning magazine, Sept, 2004 and co-written with Dr. Sara Armstrong
- The New Literacy (a different article) appeared in the March/April issue of [http://www.scholastic.com/administrator/ Scholastic Administrator].
- Setting the Stage: A Future Fiction This is a work of future fiction. I do not call it science fiction, because I have every reason to expect that schools can change this much, and that it could happen during my career. If they do not, it will not be because the technology is not available, but because we did not have the courage or vision to make such dramatic changes in the way that we prepare our students for their future. This is an abbreviated version of chapter one ofRedefining Literacy for the 21st Century. This piece was published in the March 2004 issue of Library Media Center.
- '''The Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship, by Ribble and Bailey Now is the time for educators as well as other adults to begin to evaluate how they are using technology. Within this website are many examples of how educators can begin the process of teaching their students how to use technology more appropriately. These resources can be used by any adults who are interested in helping students better understand appropriate technology use.
- Textbooks of the Future That students will eventually use computers in place of traditional textbooks is almost certain. Just watch the eight-year-old children at your local elementary school pulling their backpacks (now on wheels). This makes no sense. Published in May 2004 issue of Technology & Learning Magazine.
- Sweatshop Video is a resource that I am very frequently asked for after the keynote. It can be access from the SFETT web site and the URL is:
- A listing of Fair Use materials from Temple University, who has been researching the issues of fair use in K12 education, and how our restrictive interpretations are detrimental to proper media education.
- An example of working the information or Employing the Information. In this exercise, I took data from the Internet World Stats page , accessed archived versions of the page going back to 2002, and re-typed the number of Internet users and penetration data into a Google Docs spreadsheet. Then I inserted the motion chart widget to make the graph here.
Here are the primary things I've found from Temple:

Where can I find the world of warcraft 'you can't touch this' video. I've seen a few online in my search and none have been as good.
Equity:
In Canada about 73% of adults 16 years and older access the internet.
see: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080612/dq080612b-eng.htm
World-wide only ~23% of have access to the internet. See http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
The New Literacies are important, I agree, but how are we ensuring that access to information is equitable.
The answer is, that we're not -- at least we're not doing enough. There are sparks of hope, as Finland has made high speed Internet a Legal Right of all citizens and the French high court has listed broadband as a human right.
I think that what we have to do is to realize that information has changed and that the right to access and use that information is a right in a democratic society and assure that all citizens have it. Up to now, my country (and Canada) have left it up to the Telcos -- who will provide it where there's a profit to be made. Not their fault. It ours......
This is a test of the comment box plus -- just to see if it is working correctly with the upgrade of PMWiki 3.x.x

Hiya, good web page you've gotten there.
Merely desired to say Now i am glad that i stumbled on your page!
Hiya, nice site you've gotten at this time there.
Plaza Frontenac est le seul endroit IRL (dans la vraie vie) pour voir le ciel, haut de gamme Prada, Miu Miu, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Fendi, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta, Longchamp et Chanel. Mais nous n'avons pas d'accès direct à Furla, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Tods, Mulberry, Marni, Lanvin ou Balenciaga sacs C darn! Chloe utilisé pour être à notre Neiman mais la ligne a diminué à un style ou deux.Ce que cela signifie est que St. Louis fashionistas ne peut rencontrer facilement l'arrêt de 50% et plus de démarques que les petites boutiques offrent dans les grandes zones métropolitaines. Cependant, les grands détaillants de luxe de la bo?te ne commencent à réduire à la fin de la saison
Truly....this is a helpful web-site.
