Marc Prensky on The New Literacy

  • Programming:The New Literacy by Marc Prensky featured in Edutopia
    ‘ I believe the single skill that will, above all others, distinguish a literate person is programming literacy, the ability to make digital technology do whatever, within the possible one wants it to do — to bend digital technology to one’s needs, purposes, and will, just as in the present we bend words and images. Some call this skill human-machine interaction; some call it procedural literacy. Others just call it programming.’

    • Marc Prensky conducted a series of workshops and keynotes in Perth from 28-30 May 2007. They explored online technologies and their application for innovative education.Resources from these workshops are available on the SOCS webpage.
