None
I recently came across notes from the National Council of Teachers of English and their findings on the new 21st century literacies needed by our students.
TOWARD A DEFINITION OF 21st-CENTURY LITERACIES Adopted by the NCTE Executive Committee February 15, 2008
“New media literacies include the traditional literacy that evolved with print culture as well as newer forms of literacy within mass and digital media.” Jenkins
These podcasts are from Henry Jenkins white paper, Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st. Century. I like so many of the new ideas in this paper about teens and teen culture. I will be reading bits and pieces from it to share with teachers learning about Web2.0 and how its use will add value and motivation to the education of our current and future students.
