发言题目：Reading and writing in
a digital world
As
language teachers, we are concerned with literacy: the ability to understand,
critically analyze, and create and share information in a way that others can
understand it. These days, literacy starts with text-based reading and writing
and continues into digital literacy. The American Library Association’s Digital
Literacy Task Force defines digital literacy as “the ability to use information
and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate
information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.”
Though
many people believe that learners today are experts with technology, this is
not quite true. Learners today still need critical thinking skills and
awareness of tools outside of social media. This session demonstrates some
approaches to finding, judging, saving, and sharing digital information. Healey
discusses using open-access journals, digital curation, collaborative writing,
authentic audience, and other apps and sites as aids for writing and reading in
a digital world.
