Literacy and the new technologies in school education: Meeting the l(IT)eracy challenge?

Abstract

With the emergence and consolidation of the so-called 'new' technologies, the issue of 'new', 'emergent', 'changing', and 'different' literacies has increasingly become a major agenda item for literacy educators. There are particular challenges for literacy in this new agenda, which contest traditional concepts of print and their preoccupation with reading and writing texts. This paper builds on recent Australian work on the integration of literacy and IT in education. It presents a '3D' model of literacy-technology as sociocultural practice, making explicit connections in this regard with Luke and Freebody's well-known 'reading resources' model of reading and literacy.
