The new literacies are new forms of literacy based on the development of technology. It is extremely important for teachers to learn and be up-to-date with the new literacies and new developments in technology. Teachers will be able to use technology to excite and motivate students to learn.
The International Society for Technology in Education provides resources on their website. http://www.iste.org/standards/nets-for-teachers They have a page with links just for teachers. They provide resources, such as books, PDs, webinars, and so much more. http://www.iste.org/learn
One example of a new literacy I want to utilize in my classroom is the blog. I want my students to start blogging about what they are learning about. We can share this information with our families and community.
