In regards to the new theoretical perspectives, evaluate how the changes in information
and communication technology such as the internet, are redefining what it means to be
literate. In two or three paragraphs, construct your definition of what it now means to be
literate under this change and how you see this affecting the classroom practice today.
How changes in information and communication technology are defining what it means to
be literate
Now that new technologies need new literacies in order to properly harness their
potential, reading and literacy instruction are being redefined in even more profound ways
(Kinzer & Leander, 2003). Gaming, multimedia, and community-building technologies are just a
few of the numerous examples. In addition, new literacies are constantly developing due to the
wide range of communication and information routes that technology provides. Using a website's
discussion board, video chatting, or playing virtual reality role-playing games, people nowadays
are reinventing their reading habits (Kinzer, 2003). When it comes to both language development
and technology jobs, the ability to linguistically alter identity and conversational norms to fit
new electronic surroundings has significant implications (Crystal, 2001). Literacies are defined
at schools, at home, and in the workplace as a consequence of these activities, which affect our
notion of literacy. As more and more people use new technologies to communicate, the views on
language and literacy are changing. For the most part, new literacies have an impact on
classroom instruction, whether on intention or not (Lewis & Finders, 2002).
It's a good idea to take a look at the lives of school leavers this year. Their narrative can
teach us a lot about how reading will evolve in the future. Many school learners are expected to
use a wide range of information and communication technologies (ICTs), including blogs,
software applications, content authors, Website browsers, Internet reviewers, e-mail, Excel
sheets, and PowerPoint slides, online chatting, connectors for Web pages and mailing lists, and
interactive whiteboards, emojis, and interactive experiences. Toward the conclusion of their
studies, this set of learners is presented with new literacies that they had never imagined. This
school year's first-grade learners may experience even more important advancements in literacy
technology when they begin their reading adventures this fall. ICTs and new literacies will be
introduced to the next cohort in the same way that they were introduced to prior generations.
Students need to know how to utilize a wide range of ICTs accessible in an online,
networked environment if they are to be successful in the modern world. These new literacy
abilities are essential in today's digital environment for collecting and using information. To
ensure that all of the children have a bright future, I need to rethink my concepts of reading and
literacy training. ICT literacy includes the ability to utilize and adapt to new and constantly
evolving information and communication technology (ICT) and surrounds, as well as the
essential skills, methods, and attitudes. ICTs have made it simpler than ever to identify important
questions, assess the value of information, synthesize knowledge to answer these issues, and then
convey these answers to others.
As new forms of literacy emerge and change, it's difficult to pin down a single definition.
In tandem with the development of new means of information and communication comes the
emergence of new forms of literacy (Leu, 2000a). The significant research goal that lies ahead
due to these seismic shifts in character necessitates a new hypothesis. I believe that new
and communication technology such as the internet, are redefining what it means to be
literate. In two or three paragraphs, construct your definition of what it now means to be
literate under this change and how you see this affecting the classroom practice today.
