Student Achievement in New Literacies for the 21st Century

Abstract

It is a chilly fall morning in Snow Lake, a town of 1300 people in northern Manitoba, Canada. Two sixth grade boys from Kerr School trudge off down the road toward the lakeshore. They are laden with two digital still cameras, a digital cam corder, and several notebooks. This is a school day and they are off by themselves to document the life of a local commercial fisherman. Their teacher, Clarence Fisher, has arranged for them to spend the morning with the man, who lives and works in their town. Earlier, the boys had interviewed the fisherman on the phone; this morning the boys are recording their experiences on the two digital still cameras and one video camcorder. They also write notes in their paper notebooks. When the boys get back, they sort through the data they have collected with Mr. Fisher. They use this data to make Web page reports as well as other exhibitions.
