Finally have both of my texts:)
In this weeks readings/lecture notes I have to agree that literacy as I knew it is very different than what it is now. I feel in the last couple of years there has been a huge shift in thinking of how students should be taught. It is obvious that teachers realize that the old way of teaching is not what works for the 21st century learners. These students want to do the learning on their own. They want to be able to guide their learning along the way. Students want to have the chance to work together, share ideas, be creative, critique, and find their own answers. I feel that in my district they are working very hard to meet all of the students needs of technology in the classroom. I also feel that it is changing so fast that schools can not keep up with the changes. I personally believe that districts need to give training to teachers, especially the more veteran teachers, so they can see and learn about all of the great things it has to offer. I honestly believe that teachers don't understand what technology could do for their teaching and the students education.
