EDU4210 New Literacies in Teaching and Learning
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

The history of literacy is often linked to the history of technology. In this unit we examine the importance of understanding the role of literacy in your students’ lives, and the literacy demands in various learning areas. In doing so we will come to understand why some students might struggle in their learning area. We also look at how listening, reading, and writing can be used in strategic ways to teach more effectively.  This unit looks at the role of new media, technologies and emerging literacies in connecting with students and in developing the literacy. The unit also is intended to develop student teacher capability for demonstrating Phase One performance in Dimensions One, Two and Three of the Competency Framework for Teachers (EDTWA, 2001).
