162. New Literacy Is technology developing a whole new kind of literacy? Onceliterate people may find themselves classified as illiterate according to this new system. http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/tfranklin/literate.htm

Literacies When I hear the word Literacy I think of the ability to read and write in a way that allows one to function as a contributing member of society. This thought is immediately followed by my concern for the illiterate and how they are suppressed by their illiteracy. A few years ago I would have considered myself a very literate person, but as technology evolves, new forms of literacy unfold. I am beginning to feel illiterate and wonder if this type of disability will suppress me or my less computer literate students. The trouble with technology is that it is always changing, usually at a rate that is faster than most of us can keep up. Consider the first grader who is just learning to read. Should the student struggle to learn phonics or take a short cut and do sight reading. Sight reading will get him to read his first book more quickly, but phonics will allow him to become more literate in the long run. Technology is causing us to revisit a similar issue, is it better to learn computer programming, or just to know the right buttons to push to get the job done. Mike Sharples wrote in Electronic Publications: Writing for the Screen, about how the "Dynabook was supposed to be a devise for learners," but it turned into a device to make office work more efficient. This of course led to a less creative instrument, but one which the less literate could use. In The Disappearance of Technology Toward an Ecological Model of Literacy

Rotarians are working with governments to create large-scale replicable literacy projects in the developing world. In 1997, the RI Board of Directors designated July as Literacy Month, a perfect time for Rotary clubs to develop their own literacy projects as well as raise awareness of Rotarian efforts worldwide to eradicate illiteracy. Considerable progress has been made in recent decades in reducing illiteracy; yet, close to a billion people lack the most basic literacy and numeracy skills. Millions more are functionally illiterate, lacking the skills necessary to meet the demands of everyday life. UNESCO illuminates some of the greatest challenges for those tackling illiteracy:

Proclaiming the Gospel through Media Literacy A Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod Home WELCOME to the home page of the Christian Media Literacy Institute. We are glad you stopped by for a visit. If you are a parent or teacher and you are looking for Christian materials to help your children understand the media, then this site and the Christian Media Literacy Institute are for you. There are many secular groups involved in media literacy. However, there is precious little media literacy material being developed from the Christian perspective. Our children could benefit greatly by learning how to use their faith to analyze the media. Through applying Law and Gospel to a constructed message our children can judge the moral quality of the message for themselves and compare that to the new life they have in Jesus Christ. In this way, children begin to learn how to use their faith to critique the world in which they live. Dr. John Tape, President, Christian Media Literacy Institute Our Purpose Our purpose is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ as we sensitize children, teachers and parents to the issues of media literacy.

169. Literacy In The Information Age As we enter a new millennium, the technology that we use to communicate with each other is proceeding at a fantastic pace. The key questions for us as educators are how is this technology best used to benefit our students, and how will this new technology affect them and their futures? http://eduserv.edu.yorku.ca/~raja_bhattacharyya/literacy.htm

A philosophy of technology: literacy in the information age As we enter a new millennium, the technology that we use to communicate with each other is proceeding at a fantastic pace. The key questions for us as educators is how is this technology best used to benefit our students, and how will this new technology affect them and their futures? According to Neil Postman, the means by which we communicate as a society have profound effects on the society. The changes to the political process wrought by the ascension of television as the primary means of communication is but one example. As McLuhan said, "the medium is the message", in many different ways. A communications technology cannot help but affect not only how messages are sent, but what messages are sent as well. Would decontextualised images and pictures really guide world events and commerce as they do now if not for television? Information technology in general and the Internet in particular are playing a more and more important role in the educational field. What are the effects of this role going to be and how do we avoid possible negative effects of the new technology? The problem facing educators, beyond merely keeping up with the technology, is to figure out what the machines are good for and how can our students make the best use of the opportunities that technology may offer them. To narrow down our search for solutions, we have decided to focus on the issue of literacy and information technology. The areas that we explored involved word processing and basic reading and writing skills, to the fundamental qualities of hypertext as an information exchange medium.

170. Literacy Resources - Spelling Tips Strategies for teaching spelling and a list of spelling rules. http://www.hpl.ca/local/literacy/spelling.shtml

THE LEARNING CENTRE - TUTOR TRAINING RESOURCES Tips For Spelling TEACHING SPELLING TO SPELL YOU MUST: 1. Recognize letters and sounds. 2. Remember the correct sequence of letters and spell the word in your mind. 3. Recall the sequence. MEMORY 1. We remember what we want to remember. 2. We tend to remember the most recently learned material. 3. Practice is essential for memory. 4. The easiest material to remember is that which we have discovered ourselves. BUT HOW? 1. Make the spelling words relevant. Learn spelling within a context. (Write letters where spelling is important.) 2. Try to write a whole passage first, then edit. Don't struggle over each word as it comes up. 3. If the spelling of a word is asked for, give it, and circle it so that you can go back to it later in discussion. Don't interrupt the flow of meaning. 4. Don't ask your learner to copy words or passages unless you have explained the reason why. Do you know why? If they are rehearsing it as they copy it, it will make more sense. 5. Put a relevant spelling word on a card. Rehearse it. Turn the card over. Practice it.
