New literacies

Traditionally we would define literacy as the ability to read, write , and think critically about written words.  This definition has expanded in the 21st century. Students need to be fluent and proficient with technological tool.  They need to be able to analyze, understand, and utilize the different types of media as a way to connect with the world. 

So as a teacher what does this mean for instruction??  This to me means that as an educational community we need to figure out what is effective teaching with technology? Dean Shareski's blog provides great examples of what this looks like in the classroom. I found his youtube video titled Project Based Learning very helpful. What do you think effective teaching with technology looks like in the classroom?
