Use the power of social networks with students:

Set up twitter or TweetDeck:

Kids today?

• “What’s wrong with this generation of kids?” • “Students today can’t read the way we could 20

years ago.”• “Kids are addicted to the Internet. I think they don’t

learn proper social skills any more.”• “All the kids I see just want to play dumb, violent

computer games.”• “Kids today can’t concentrate the way they used to.

They don’t listen properly.”

The Big Shifts

Literacy has changed:

It’s “a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a

digital environment…Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media

, , and , to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments.”
