ABSTRACT
The term literacy has come to describe competence in a special field, such as computer or math literacy, and includes many types or multiple literacies, such as visual, media, cultural, and workplace, to name a few. Literacy also involves how new technologies change the ways we think, read, write, speak, visually represent, and so forth. Students, for the most part, are learning and growing in a technological environment with access to resources beyond the classroom and school. Technology can enhance the literacy development of students and help to foster relevance and creativity. At the heart of the constructivist model of learning is the belief that students must actively build their own understandings of all literacy activities. Vygotsky further asserted that all learning is basically a social and psychological process that takes place through interactions between students and others in their environment.
