Analysis
Learning does not just revolve around academic aspects. One responsibility given
to educators is to cultivate and strengthen young minds. It is essential to ensure that
learners are literate and able to apply what they have learned in real-life situations.
Building the foundation throughout their learning experiences as students, educators play
a crucial role in equipping learners with the right skills needed for their future. Through
the integration of new literacies in learning, learners are given opportunities to actively
participate in class, assess their performances inside the classroom through different
mediums, and use these as tools when they enter the professional field.
New literacies encompass various skills that are necessary for learners to have in
order to become competent citizens in today and future societies. Learners do not just
read to attain cognitive knowledge but also affective knowledge. In reading, learners
develop various skills such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, vocabulary,
pronunciation, comprehension, and grammar skills. With the use of new technologies,
educators can expand their strategies for honing the new literacies of their learners.
Teachers can integrate technologies into peer discussion where students evaluate a current
news event from three perspectives: local, national, and world. Students can locate
articles, note sources and content, compare what they have gathered, and share what the
group has concluded in the class. With this activity, learners can effectively observe,
listen, read, and analyze the different information that is presented to them. As they can
access the internet, this task tests how learners use their skills in searching, analyzing,
and evaluating ideas that they gather. This task was based on the Observation Protocol for
Technology in the Classroom (OPTIC) of Chase and Laufenberg (2011). Learners also
have an inquiry project, which challenges them to explore various social issues. Learners
select a topic, research through print or non-print resources, create a presentation to share,
and provide a solution and action plan based on their findings. This allows learners to
showcase their expertise in writing scripts, essays, poetry, speeches, and multimedia
presentations. This kind of project encourages learners to engage in a deeper level of
thinking about what techniques they should use to produce something that will effectively
reach their target audience. Furthermore, there are projects that focus on how students use
email to transform traditional writing to digital, where editing and sharing happen, the
use of various animations, drawings, photographs, or any visual components in creating
PowerPoint presentations, the experimentation of digital abbreviations in messaging, and
participating in a 21st century writing workshop model. These activities assess learners'
development with their creative minds.
In order for learners to cope with the rapid changes that they will face in the
future, it is necessary to take teaching and learning to different levels where there is
consistency in integrating new literacies. Learners can collaboratively work with their
peers and participate in discussions. These prepare them to become developed and ready
to adapt to changes.
Implication
The integration of new literacies expanded the need to use technology and the
internet. There is a need for new technologies, as these can be used to cope with emerging
trends and to bridge or mend the digital divide. With the bridging of the digital divide,
there is an equity in accessing and using various tools in learning that can help educators
innovate learning designs that fit the needs of 21st-century learners. As most individuals
connect and communicate globally through new technologies, learners and teachers also
need to use these as tools for collaborative learning.
To develop new literacies, educators must innovate various strategies to implement

lessons that connect to the skills of the students. It takes hard work on the part of the
teacher, as they are the ones who will craft the learning design since they can observe the
learners directly. Through mentoring those who knew less in terms of using technology,
they can integrate technology into teaching, plan collaboratively, teach, and reflect.
Scaffolding is essential in this part as it enhances their skills to become more confident in
using technology. Some were a bit overwhelmed as it became a challenge for them to
properly teach learners with that kind of setup. With the various new literacies that are
used to broaden teaching strategies, long-term goals were created through collaborative
planning, co-teaching, and reflection. Although this is new for those who were used to
traditional technology, collaborating with those who have more knowledge made it
possible for them to innovate new student teaching designs. Taking small steps with
encouragement and constructive feedback really helps, as it doesn’t make them feel
technologically disabled. Having several minds to think about made it possible to create
such a design for the sake of an effective teaching and learning process. Also, allowing
students to work hands-on with technological tools will encourage them to discover more
literacies and grasp those to use in their daily lives through asking questions, surfing the
internet, collaborative learning through multimedia, and creating designs.
New literacies are a challenge for every educator, as they are expected to adapt
easily to the advancements that they face. The involvement of technology became a tool
for easier integration of new literacies in crafting student learning designs. It also allows
interaction with learners and coworkers, which builds a healthy relationship inside the
classroom.
