Technology and the Internet bring a whole new universe of possibilities to helping students become literate, technology literate and information literate. In this 2004 FETC session, Dr. Donna Baumbach, University of Central Florida, presents a variety of online tools and other resources available to help teachers enable students to achieve and become independent learners.

The links at the top of the page will lead you to selected, sample resources to support today's literacies. This is not a comprehensive list, but rather a collection of sites to help teachers think about how the Internet can be infused throughout the curriculum to meet multiple standards for student achievement.

Note: These web pages were updated in August 2006. Literacies of all kinds remain hot topics, so this update was designed to eliminate dead links and present some new resources in every category. It also includes Web 2.0 technologies such as weblogs, wikis, RSS feeds and social bookmarking tools where appropriate.
