This blog has been created to explore the role of new technologies in schools and the ways in which teachers can teach and use social literacy in the classroom. As technology advances, we see technological devices creep into the classroom more and more, and this has an impact on the way we teach our students. Teachers are required to learn these new devices and incorporate them into their lessons in the hope that they will create a learning experience for children that is more engaging, and accommodating to multiple learning styles. Becoming literate on these new devices and finding ways to incorporate them into lessons can be tricky, however, so in this blog I will try and give suggestions for neat resources that teachers can use in the classroom, as well as possible lesson ideas for each. I will also discuss the opinions of scholars who study education and specialize in media literacy and the use of technology in the classroom and give some strategies that can be employed in the classroom based on their research. I hope that you all will find this to be a useful resource, and will borrow some of my ideas to try out in your own classrooms. Remember, teaching is an art not a science, so get creative, and have fun with your lessons!
