Literacy is the foundation for learning. In a digital world it is
important that the learner understand how to critically analyze
sources of information. In a paper and print world we have
editorial boards, peer reviews, and other ways to validate
information. In the new digital world information is instantaneous
and often not validated. The challenge is how to use these new
resources and how to ensure it is accurate and valid. We need to
teach learners to be critical users of digital information. The
digital world is influencing schools worldwide. Can the United
States of America develop electronic learning and export it to
other parts of the world? The United Nation reports that there are
130,000,000 children worldwide that have no teachers and no
classrooms. Can a model of digital learning allow the United States
of America to export high quality education to the rest of the
world? Literacy In the Digital Age: Reading, Writing, Viewing, and
Computing examines the transition from a book and library world and
its influence upon schools to a digital world of electronic text,
television, and the Internet. It redefines literacy in that new
world and addresses the questions: What does a digital world mean
for schools? Can we provide a model of education that allows the
learner access to learning at anytime and anyplace? Includes: a
glimpse of how students might learn in a digital world, a
discussion of national and international digital libraries of high
quality curriculum, a model federal law that could provide for the
development of a digital resource for schools across the nation and
eventually for the world.
