Redefining Literacy 2.0

by David F. Warlick

This seminal work on what literacy truly means in the 21st century is filled with big, meaningful ideas. The purpose of this book is not to replace the three Rs, but to expand them to a model for literacy that applies to classrooms which are shape-shifting under the pressures of converging conditions. This is a must-read for all educators!



- Exposes meaning from global interactive, multimedia, and electronic cybraries

- Employs information for solving challenges and constructing information

- Express ideas compellingly and fluently through technology to a diverse audience

Great book...really make you think about what it means to be literate in today's world. Offers great tools and ideas to use within the 21st century classroom!

One quote I love is...
"Educators should seek to intergrate literacy, rather than intergrate technology. If we can rethink what it is to be literate in today's information environment, and intergrate that, then the technology will come." p. xiii

The face of education is changing, and David Warlick gives a voice to this change. He has done a great job with explaining the evolution of teaching, and learning, and how we need to adapt to meet the future needs of our students.

Very help distinctly made with previous reading with 2.0 reading. Now across, down, and DEEP (through hypertext).
