Twenty-first Century Literacy and Technology in K-8 Classrooms

Twenty-first Century Literacy and Technology in K-8 Classrooms
by June Brown, Jan Bryan, and Ted Brown
Using technology to enhance literacy has been viewed in different ways by educators. Some teachers believe
that new developments will fundamentally change literacy instruction; others think that technology is simply a
new tool to use with old teaching methods. The latter group views technology as merely another example of
the education pendulum swinging back and forth—but rarely creating new tracks. Likewise, some
researchers claim that technology essentially redefines literacy while others believe that it acts as a vehicle to
restore established concepts of literacy (Bryan, Merchant, and Cramer 1999).
The question of how new technologies impact literacy instruction in K-8 classrooms is particularly significant
today. Historically, definitions of literacy were grounded in ancient Greek tradition, in which like-minded
teachers and scholars gathered as communities of literates to share oral and written discourse and explore
topics for further study (Heath 1991). For example, Aristotle taught by asking questions and having learners
share their knowledge orally in the absence of technology tools. Similarly, in America early educators in
one-room schools challenged learners to read, write, and recite memorized passages orally.

to be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Within this context, it is proposed that strategies promoting active learning be defined as instructional activities involving students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing.

several studies have shown that students prefer strategies promoting active learning to traditional lectures. Other research studies evaluating students' achievement have demonstrated that many strategies promoting active learning are comparable to lectures in promoting the mastery of content but superior to lectures in promoting the development of students' skills in thinking and writing. Further, some cognitive research has shown that a significant numbe of individuals have learning styles best served by pedagogical techniques other than lecturing.

WHAT IS ACTIVE LEARNING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Surprisingly, educators' use of the term "active learning" has relied more on intuitive understanding than a common definition. Consequently, many faculty assert that all learning is inherently active and that students are therefore actively involved while listening to formal presentations in the classroom. Analysis of the research literature (Chickering and Gamson 1987), however, suggests that students must do more than just listen: They must read, write, discuss, or be engaged in solving problems. Most important, to be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Within this context, it is proposed that strategies promoting active learning be defined as instructional activities involving students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing.

Use of these techniques in the classroom is vital because of their powerful impact upon students' learning. For example, several studies have shown that students prefer strategies promoting active learning to traditional lectures. Other research studies evaluating students' achievement have demonstrated that many strategies promoting active learning are comparable to lectures in promoting the mastery of content but superior to lectures in promoting the development of students' skills in thinking and writing. Further, some cognitive research has shown that a significant numbe of individuals have learning styles best served by pedagogical techniques other than lecturing. Therefore, a thoughtful and scholarly approach to skillful teaching requires that faculty become knowledgeable about the many ways strategies promoting active learning have been successfully used across the disciplines. Further, each faculty member should engage in self-reflection, exploring his or her personal willingness to experiment with alternative approaches to instruction.

A Classroom Investigation: Can Video Improve Intermediate-Level French Language Students’ Ability to Learn about a Foreign Culture? - Herron - 2002 - The Modern Language Journal - Wiley Online Library: "This study examines the effects of video on cultural knowledge at the intermediate level. Fifty-one intermediate-level French students viewed 8 videos. A pretest/posttest design assessed long-term gains in cultural knowledge and in the learning of cultural practices and cultural products from exposure to a curriculum with a video component. Eight postvideo tests measured the students’ ability to retain information and to make inferences. A questionnaire assessed perceptions of cultural learning. Results indicated a significant gain in cultural knowledge with posttest scores significantly higher than pretest scores. On the short-answer and free-recall portions of the 8 postvideo tests, the students’ ability to make inferences or retain information did not improve significantly in either an advance organizer (AO) or a non-AO condition. For free recall, scores were significantly higher for mentions of cultural practices than for products. The students believed that they learned more cultural practices than products. The results support using video to enhance cultural knowledge."

Digital literacy

This creative
work provides students with a strong foundation in what many educators (Brown, Bryan, &
Brown, 2005; Jakes, 2006; Partnership for 21st
Century Skills, 2004) have begun calling 21st
Century Literacy, Digital Age Literacies, or 21st
Century Skills. Regardless of the specific term
being used, these skills are being described as
the combination of:
Digital literacy—the ability to communicate
with an ever-expanding community to discuss
issues, gather information, and seek help;
Global literacy—the capacity to read, interpret,
respond, and contextualize messages from a
global perspective
Technology literacy—the ability to use computers and other technology to improve learning, productivity, and performance;
Visual literacy—the ability to understand, produce, and communicate through visual images;
Information literacy—the ability to find, evaluate, and synthesize information.

teacher familiarity with technology

Puckett, and Cabuk (2004) sum up the situation
this way:
Teacher familiarity, confidence, and skill in
choosing software and integrating technology
into the curriculum are dependent on teacher
training and time for self-directed exploration
and learning. Due to the relative newness of
computer technology, many teachers have not
received adequate training to select appropriate
technologies and lack support to use them.

user generated content and web 2.0


What makes these tools so compelling is
the nature of what has come to be known as
user contributed content, social media, and Web
2.0. Roush (2006) wrote that these technologies
are part of a transformation from “one-to-many
communication on the Web” to “many-to-many
communication, and that traffic and conversation
naturally cluster around content, such as videos,
photos, blog posts, and bookmarks” (p. 1). Borland (2007) explained this technological evolution in the following way:
Web 1.0 refers to the first generation of the
commercial Internet, dominated by content that
was only marginally interactive. Web 2.0, characterized by features such as tagging, social
networks, and user-created taxonomies of content called folksonomies, added a new layer of
interactivity, represented by sites such as Flickr,
Del.icio.us, and Wikipedia. (p. 1)

correct use of technology, support

In an article (“ED study slams software efficacy,”
2007, May) in eSchool News, several well-known
technology advocates responded to the report to
Congress. Keith Krueger, chief executive offi-
cer of the Consortium for School Networking,
stated, “This study failed to address several key
pieces that other research and educators strongly
agree are critical to the success of any efforts
to transform teaching and learning” (p. 26).
Mary Ann Wolf, executive director of the State
Educational Technology Directors Association,
added, “Strong leadership is needed to encourage
the correct use of technology, provide support
throughout, and systemically integrate the use of
technology for instruction. Integrating technology is much, much more than putting a piece of
software into a classroom” (p. 26). A

Learning with technology: A constructivist perspective | Mendeley

Learning with technology: A constructivist perspective | Mendeley: " Video is an additional technological tool the authors advocate to support constructivist learning. Under the traditional paradigm, film and videos are merely shown to students in a passive manner. Constructivist learning employs video as an active tool that requires learners to produce information, as opposed to consume information. Learners must be active, constructive, intentional, and cooperative to produce video. Newsrooms, talk shows, documentaries, theatre, and video conferencing are all examples of how students can use video to construct knowledge and communities of learning. "

The impact of working on undergraduate students’ interactions with faculty
Three decades of research on college students indicates that faculty members play a
central role in the development of undergraduate students (Astin, 1993; Pascarella & Terenzini,
1991, 2005; Kuh & Hu, 2001; Umbach & Wawyrzinski, 2005). Studies suggest that out-ofclassroom interactions with faculty are positively associated with gains in academic and
cognitive development (Terenzini, Pascarella, & Blimling, 1996), personal and intellectual
growth (Astin, 1993; Endo & Harpel, 1982; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005), and student
satisfaction (Kuh & Hu, 2001; Endo & Harpel, 1982). These interactions are frequently the best
predictors of student persistence (Braxton, Sullivan, & Johnson, 1997; Pascarella & Terenzini,
1991; Stage &Hossler, 2000). Likewise, instructional approaches, such as cooperative learning,
teacher organization and clarity, and high expectations for students, positively influence
cognitive growth (Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991, 2005; Pascarella Edison, Nora, Hagedorn, &
Braxton, 1996).

This study examines (1) the extent to which student engagement is associated with
experimental and traditional measures of academic performance, (2) whether the
relationships between engagement and academic performance are conditional,
and (3) whether institutions differ in terms of their ability to convert student
engagement into academic performance. The sample consisted of 1058 students
at 14 four-year colleges and universities that completed several instruments during
2002. Many measures of student engagement were linked positively with such
desirable learning outcomes as critical thinking and grades, although most of the
relationships were weak in strength. The results suggest that the lowest-ability
students benefit more from engagement than classmates, first-year students and
seniors convert different forms of engagement into academic achievement, and
certain institutions more effectively convert student engagement into higher
performance on critical thinking tests.
