Charting a pathway : embedding ICT and new literacies into the curriculum

    Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

    Abstract

    Think about the technology with which today's students engage when they walk out of the classroom to do their homework, complete educational projects, and keep in contact with friends and people with the same interests - on their way home, at the library, and, definately, at home. Many of you will be familiar with the anecdote of the student who leaves school and when she gets home connects with her friends online to make decisions about what they will do, share their experiences, and comment about others. All of these forms of technology have associated with them new literacy practices. The use of the internet as both a source of information and communication has increased exponentially in many countries.
