What does literacy mean for students of the 21st century?

Literacy is reading and writing.  Plain and simple, right?  It seemed challenging enough as a classroom teacher to teach the five components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency & comprehension) and the six traits of writing (ideas, organization, voice, sentence fluency, word choice & conventions).  The terms in the image above add a whole new dimension to literacy.  Yes, teaching and learning in the 21st century is a whole new ballgame.  How do we cover the content and teach our students to be digital learners?  The intention of this blog is to share ideas about how classroom teachers and curriculum technology partners can incorporate technology into reading and writing instruction. Any ideas are welcome...please share!
