Need for 21st Century Literacy

Dear Mr. Principal,
What are the literacy skills that students need to survive in the 21st Century? Who is impacted by this question? Everyone is impacted by this question. How can we scrutinize our resources if we are unable to use the latest information. We must be allowed to use the internet as a tool for our research. It is a skill that we will use the rest of our life and isn't school about creating life long learners? As technology races ahead of our resources, how can we stay current? Please look at the work being done by the Univ. of Connecticut and Dr. Leu.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Julie Abdella

  1. Looks like I need to check out Dr. Leu. That's a new name for me. Do you recommend a particular book or is there a website I should peruse? Thanks Julie! Karen
