My article, "Connecting the Digital Dots: Literacy of the 21st Century" describes the need for the teaching of literacy to evolve into the digital age. The article begins with an example of how students of the past could learn solely from a teacher making them re-write information from their book or the chalkboard, and this would be enough to learn the material. He then goes on to demonstrate that children of today need more interaction with the material. A simple power point of the information is no longer enough.
I believe the article is trying to persuade teachers and administrators to begin to adopt a change to their teaching methods to include more technology. While the article does mention some teachers have begun to adopt more technologically advanced teaching methods, they are coming on too slow. The article is meant to inform teachers about the gap they are creating between their teaching methods and their technologically advanced students, and persuade teachers to become more adaptive to the changes technology is bringing to education.
