Through the use of the internet, and several other digital technologies, society is now able to create meaning in a multitude of ways, and in a variety of different modes, from pictures, to videos, to texts, and hypertext. These technologies have afforded us to share information with people and communities across the globe in numerous platforms, in many diverse modes.
People share through texts, images, coding, photos, videos, infographics, and the modes in which we are able to share are growing daily. While these multiple modes are still often paired with text, teachers need to ensure that 21st century students are equipped with the skills to comprehend multiple modes. With the vast amount of modalities, literacy is no longer just reading and writing, it’s designing, inferring, creating, deducting, analyzing, synthesizing, constructing meaning, and questioning. The remainder of the subpages of this website, are designed to help educators further understand the many facets of my design of a futuristic multiliteracies pedagogy, and be able to successfully incorporate them into their practice to help their students become active participants in 21st century literacy. |
