New Literacy Landscapes
It seems as if technology is changing at an eve increasing pace. Students come into the classroom with all sorts of electronic devices and know so many web sites already. However, I notice that most all their web knowledge is considered by me to entertainment in nature. They know the social networking and the music sites and video sites, but when it comes to using the web for research they are not so sophisticated. I am sooo interested to introduce many of the resources we have to them. I think once they see the power in them they will take off and use them heavily.

I deffinately agree with you Bob. Kids can learn techno. @ a fasterpace then most adults. Some of our students really know the social literacy info. We can facilitate them probably easier to use research skills.

Learning the sdocal parts is sometimes a good introduction, but you are right when you say kids really need your guidance on the research process.
