New Literacies

The use of the Internet via computers in the ' Information Age' has transformed the way students learn and are instructed. This transformation requires new literacies in order to adapt to the fast changing world. The traditional role of teacher changes to one of facilitator with an emphasis on student centred learning. As a reading specialist I hope to be able develop the necessary skills to teach reading in this fast changing environment and to knowledgeable about the new literacies that are accompanying this change.
