Believe it or not, literacy is continually changing, and at a rapid rate!
As educators is is imperative that we 'keep up with the times', the latest teaching trends, and extend our repertoire of knowledge. The modern classroom is ever changing and it has become apparent that if we want to educate our students to be able to succeed in the future, then we need to be continually educating ourselves and change our classrooms and teaching practices, to suit the modern world.
Literacy skills are essential for children from an early age. Literacy itself is changing rapidly, the mode of which it is presented is changing, and therefore the teaching practices of literacy need to be changed and adapted to the new 'multiliteracies'. This webpage aims to inform you as an educator on how literacy has changed for the 21st century; give teaching strategies, learner agency tips and multimodal programs to use in your classrooms, and to allow you to contemplate literacy and the best way to immerse your students in multimodal texts to suit the new millennium.
