The paper's >primary goal is "to present a set of possible visions on the ways that >technology can support the development of youth and adult literacy." It >includes a broad social definition of literacy and with that in mind >takes >two approaches to examining the relationship between literacy and >technology. The first is a model of technology as delivery mechanism for >content and instruction toward the acquisition of skills "associated >with >traditional notions of literacy." The second is what we may see as >integrated technology or what Lynda Ginsburg referred to as "Technology >as >an Instructional Tool." In this approach "the relationship between >literacy, technology and development is treated in a more integral >way...(and) literacy is defined as a broader set of text and >technological >skills that include not only decoding and comprehension of prose but the >ability to acess, analyze, evaluate, communicate and use information to >sove problems and create new knowledge." > >While the focus of the paper is on the global community, particularly >developing and poor nations, the implications for the vision of >technology >integration in to literacy instruction in the U.S. seems great. It >points >to a need for an increased dedication of resources not only for hardware >and access, but also to an enhanced priority on teacher training in the >area of technology integration and on the development of learning >technologies with "learning and content at their core." > >The paper is a not-too-long and very worthwhile read.
