According to the National Council of Teachers of English, the following are the characteristics of “literate readers and writers” in the 21st Century.
• Develop proficiency with the tools of technology
• Build relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and
cross-culturally
• Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of
purposes
• Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous
information
• Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts
• Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments
How are you personally meeting these standards?
Wow - this is my ongoing question. I guess my answer is one thing at a time and work on blending together - like into a blog. All we can do is get started and teach what we can and still reach all the other standards (State Standards) that we are responsible to teach. I am sure the two will go hand in hand but that is the area in which we all need to work.
