21st Century Literacies in the Classroom

Catalog description

The term "literacy" used to be associated with the ability to read and write. How we interact with our environment is evolving as technology evolves. This has resulted in an expansion of the definition of literacy. Literacy now includes several facets: Information, Media, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is important for students to understand 21st century literacies and be able to use them as a guide in the global community that helped create the need for them. This course explores the concept of 21st century literacy and how these skills can be both taught to students and integrated into our teaching to support student learning.
