#2 Digital technology can support literacy instruction by helping children share ideas, information and experiences through images, colors, and sounds.

#3 Digital technology changes the literacy practices we engage in daily and these practices should be reflected in school.

#4 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to model high quality uses of digital technologies for students and their families.

#5 Schools have the opportunity to ensure equitable access to digital technology and the way in which it is used in the classroom.

#6 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to help children develop an understanding of the norms of appropriate, responsible, and ethical behaviors related to online rights, roles, identity, safety, security, and communication.

Technology is integrated throughout the literacy and language arts standards.]]> 2016-06-02 18:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113517697 #1 The use of digital technology is incorporated into the Common Core State Standards. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113518051 Even though this book is only focused on K-6 educators I looked up the standards for 7-8 ELA. This is one standard I found...  

"CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.6-8.6
Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas clearly and efficiently." ]]> 2016-06-02 18:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113518051 #1 The use of digital technology is incorporated into the Common Core State Standards. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113518802 English Language Proficiency Standards 
"The standards make it clear that students must not only have strong receptive language skills, but must also be able to produce oral and written language for varying tasks, audiences, and purposes" (Hutchison & Colwell, p. 10-11). ]]> 2016-06-02 18:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113518802 #2 Technology can support the development of traditional literacy skills.  sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522019 Example: Wiki Page 
Students can share writing projects. ]]> 2016-06-02 19:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522019 #3 Digital Technology changes what it mean to be literate. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522084 According to Leu, Kinzer, Coiro and Cammack (2004), at a minimum, students must be able to do the following in order to be successful online readers:
-Apply problem-solving skills
-Identify problems and seek appropriate solutions
-Locate useful information relevant to problems
-Critically evaluate information, sorting out accurate information from inaccurate information, essential information from less-essential information, and biased information from unbiased information.
-Synthesize information across multiple sources
-Rapidly and clearly communicate solutions to others. ]]> 2016-06-02 19:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522084 #4 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to model high quality uses of digital technologies for students and their families. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522120 Incorporating parents into an online project might provide parents with a clearer window into their child's literacy learning and create connections between school and home life. ]]> 2016-06-02 19:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522120 #5 Schools have the opportunity to ensure equitable access to digital technology and the way in which it is used in the classroom.  sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522231 Schools can create opportunities for students to explore and use a variety of technology tools, like digital cameras, video recorders, printers, and other cool technology. ]]> 2016-06-02 19:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522231 #6 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to help children develop an understanding of the norms of appropriate, responsible, and ethical behaviors related to online rights, roles, identity, safety, security, and communication.   sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522323 2016-06-02 19:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/113522323 #2 Technology can support the development of traditional literacy skills. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114387569 Example: Virtual Field Trip
Students can go on field trips without even leaving the classroom. Then they can create research reports, PowerPoint presentations, podcasts, etc. about what they learned on their virtual field trip. ]]> 2016-06-11 16:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114387569 #3 Digital Technology changes what it mean to be literate. sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114387875 We must all work together to "ensure that our students are being adequately prepared for the environment in which they read and write" (Hutchison & Colwell, p. 14). ]]> 2016-06-11 16:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114387875 #6 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to help children develop an understanding of the norms of appropriate, responsible, and ethical behaviors related to online rights, roles, identity, safety, security, and communication.  sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114388389 2016-06-11 16:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114388389 #6 Teachers have the opportunity and responsibility to help children develop an understanding of the norms of appropriate, responsible, and ethical behaviors related to online rights, roles, identity, safety, security, and communication.  sbenson524 https://padlet.com/sbenson524/ygszgtvhfb6a/wish/114388498 Ribble and Bailey's (2007) Nine Elements of Digital Citizenship
