Literacy in the 21st Century

Literacy in the 21st century, the online world, is quite different from the traditional meaning of the word. New literacies have emerged as a result of new technologies.

Within this online workshop, you will learn about the two important aspects of literacy-technology integration:
Using technology to teach more effectively and enhance the learning of skills and strategies that currently make up a strong English/literacy curriculum and;
Effectively teaching and enhancing the learning of skills and strategies that make up the strong English/literacy curriculum of the future.

The Nature of Literacy With ICT Integration

Today, the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has numerous implications for literacy teaching and learning. As a teacher, you are not only challenged to integrate ICT into traditional aspects of literacy instruction but also to engage students in emerging technological literacies.

Teaching Primary Literacy With ICT in the Australian Curriculum English KLA

"ICT capability is an important component of the Australian Curriculum: English. Students use ICT when they interpret and create print, visual, and multimodal texts. They use communication technologies when they conduct research online and collaborate and communicate with others electronically. In particular, they use ICT to access, analyze, modify and create hybrid, digital and multimodal texts, using digital publishing." (ACARA)
This online PD workshop is, therefore, suitable for Primary Literacy teaching.
