computer literacy

Jeff Wilhelm:
“Technology has everything to do with literacy. And being able to use the latest electronic technologies has everything to do with being literate… Literacy has always been about using the most powerful cultural tools available to make and communicate meaning. At present, those tools happen to be multimedia tools that use video, graphics, sound, and traditional text in a hypermedia format. If we or our students don’t know how to critically use these tools to their fullest meaning-constructive potential, then we - and they – are illiterate.”
