Plan
to Attend the CSUMB 8th Annual
DigitalStream Conference
March 23-25, 2006
DigitalStream 2006 ConferenceTheme
Literacy in Language Learning with Technology
Literacy used to be such a tidy idea - literate people were seen to be those who could competently use language skills to communicate with others, and in turn make sense of reciprocal communications: reading and writing skills seemed to have it covered, though speaking and listening competences have often also figured in Literacy instruction; the Wikipedia' s article on Literacy provides a concise overview.
The problem is that technology continues to serve up new ways of expressing and accessing ideas, communicating with others, and interacting with them, so that we now need to consider the concept of Multiple Literacies which take these developments into account
