Article 7: The New Literacy

Summary:


This article was written by Sara Armstrong and David Warlick and is an overview of technology in use today. They discuss use in reading, arithmetic, writing, and ethics on the internet for educational learning to be effective. They state students should be educated for work that is known, but mostly for unknown jobs in the future. Armstrong and Warlick ask educators to not highlight old skills, but to emphases the new. The authors suggest technological resources to use in the classroom and give definitions for detailed technology use and how it applies. They have listed particular web sites to use for integration of their ideas presented.

Reaction:


I found the article informative for the time that it was written. Many of the links are not true working links, which is disappointing. The information from this article was dated though I believe the technology is the future and the advice for educators to be true especially today since we are in a world with information at our fingertips.
