Cozy-Mystery.Com edWeb.net - Networking, resource sharing, collaboration, and professional development for the education community US Digital Literacy Digital differences Digital differences When the Pew Internet Project first began writing about the role of the internet in American life in 2000, there were stark differences between those who were using the internet and those who were not. Today, differences in internet access still exist among different demographic groups, especially when it comes to access to high-speed broadband at home. Among the main findings about the state of digital access: One in five American adults does not use the internet. Senior citizens, those who prefer to take our interviews in Spanish rather than English, adults with less than a high school education, and those living in households earning less than $30,000 per year are the least likely adults to have internet access. The ways in which people connect to the internet are also much more varied today than they were in 2000. The primary recent data in this report are from a Pew Internet Project tracking survey.

Framework for 21st Century Curriculum and Assessment Updated February 2013 Adopted by the NCTE Executive Committee November 19, 2008 Context for NCTE’s 21st Century Literacies Framework In the 1990s, the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association established national standards for English language arts learners that anticipated the more sophisticated literacy skills and abilities required for full participation in a global, 21st century community. The NCTE definition of 21st century literacies makes it clear that the continued evolution of curriculum, assessment, and teaching practice itself is necessary: Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups. Elements of the Framework Applied to students of English language arts, the literacy demands of the 21st century have implications for how teachers plan, support, and assess student learning. Implications of the Framework for Assessments Appendix: 1. 2. 3. 6. 7. 8. 10. 12.
