New Literacies/NETS

New literacies is understanding the change that has taken place in communicating with reading and writing.  New literacies are redefining the way we need to teach students. As educators, we need to teach students the skills and strategies that they will need to continue to communicate with the world around them by teaching them how to locate, use, validate, and evaluate information they find on the Internet.    Because of the ever changing digital world, we need to integrate technology into all the content areas we teach.The National Educational Technology Standards for Students have been created to evaluate the skills and knowledge of students and to prepare students to communicate in this digital world.
