Abstract

Abstract: English Language Arts Educators are faced with more opportunities and greater challenges than at any other time in their history. The new literacies available to teachers afford a great opportunity to engage students in their literacy cultural heritage. But there is still a reluctance to utilize these tools. This position paper examines public policy, professional organizations' initiatives and research to suggest ways that powerful new tools can be utilized to support the timeless tasks of building knowledge and thinking critically.
