Digital Literacy Project
This project, initiated in 2009, helps students and teachers develop the online reading comprehension and information literacy skills they need in order to deal with the vast amounts of online information they encounter every day. These skills, which are listed in a taxonomy of skills called TICA, include using the internet to locate, evaluate, comprehend, create, and communicate information, as well as the skills needed to engage in collaborative, cross-cultural, and problem-based learning. There is research evidence that the teaching strategies and practices that have been developed in tandem with this framework of skills lead to improvements in online reading comprehension, problem-solving and communication skills. Don Leu of the New Literacies Lab at the University of Connecticut leads this project; we provide coordination and facilitation support in Maine.
