The article "The New Literacy" by David Warlick was very insightful in terms of how students need to be literate.  We've far too long thought of literacy as being able to read, write, and communicate orally.  However, this article points out that in today's technology driven age students need to be able to effectively communicate and interpret information electronically.  How do they learn this?  By getting into technology in the classroom.  I was definitely convicted to look more into how I can use technology in the classroom...or better yet, how my students can be using technology in the classroom.  I think I have done well up to now with trying to incorporate technology into my teaching, but I need to step out into the world of allowing the students to get their hands on the technology and teach them how to become technologically literate.
