Literacy Is NOT Enough
21st Century Fluencies for the Digital Age



May 2012 | 232 pages | Corwin
How to upgrade literacy instruction for digital learnersEducating students to traditional literacy standards is no longer enough. If students are to thrive in their academic and 21st-century careers, then independent and creative thinking hold the highest currency. The authors explain in detail how to add these new components of literacy:· Solution Fluency + Information Fluency + Creativity Fluency + Collaboration FluencyStudents must master a completely different set of skills to succeed in a culture of technology-driven automation, abundance, and access to global labor markets. The authors present an effective framework for integrating comprehensive literacy or fluency into the traditional curriculum.
