    SOCIAL LITERACY

    What is social literacy ?

    Social literacy, from the perspective of the social-cultural theory, is more


    than the ability to read and write, and more than mastering literacy skills.
    Children can learn literacy through social interaction between themselves
    and children and/or adults in or outside school . Adults can use books,
    games, toys, conversations, field trips, and stories to develop the literacy
    practices through fun.
    An individual’s activity to successfully and deliberately mediate their word
    as family members, workers, citizens and lifelong learners.
    This refers to the development of social skills to interact positively in a
    defined environment.
    Why is Social Literacy is Important?

    Social literacy is important because students must learn the necessary skills to
    communicate and widen their social circles.
    It is more important to make sure students interact in groups. By
    working in groups the students are practicing social skills that can be
    applied within and outside of the classroom.
    Students who don’t
    interact are known as
    socially illiterate
    Being socially illiterate causes
    Lack of confidence
    Learning disabilities
    Depression
    Social Literacy Skills

    Maintaining Eye contact


    Understanding angry feelings
    Collaborating ideas
    Discussion
    Ability to meet new people
    In the Age of the Smartphone, Students Need Help with
    Social Literacy

    Today’s students have grown up with the internet, with cellphones


    becoming something of an extra appendage. Many can’t make it through
    lunch (much less a whole day) without checking their phones or otherwise
    interacting with technology. Always-on culture has been a challenge for
    recent graduates who entered the workforce without the social intelligence
    that came naturally to their older co-workers. This situation underscores
    the importance of educating students in what could be called social literacy
    to ensure their academic and career success.
    How is it changing?
    In today’s changing society we have moved from encouraging a strict
    definition of social skills as conversation skills to a more broad
    understanding of social literacy. Today it is important to tie in
    technology when teaching social literacy because this is an important
    feature of how individuals communicate.
    Social Literacy and Technology
    As technology begins to play a larger part of our daily interaction, the
    importance of Social Literacy increases immensely.
     Teaching students to become socially literate, and how to express
    themselves correctly can help to prevent bullying over the internet.
    Communicating through technology also becomes more frequent as
    students grow and enter adulthood.
    TECHNOLOGY
    CAN BE USED
    TO TEACH
    SOCIAL LITERACY
    YouTube
    This website support Social Literacy because students can watch
    videos displaying how other people communicate. They can get in
    touch with all different kinds of people from all over the world. They
    can also practice their own communication skills by creating their
    own videos and sharing it with the YouTube world.
    Facebook
    This site allows students to keep in touch with people from where
    ever they may be. Students can keep in touch with family and peers
    through this website on personal level through pictures and statuses
    and even a chat feature. One way a teacher could use Facebook is by
    creating a class group to keep each other up to date about upcoming
    assignment or events going on at school.
    Google
    Google Docs allows a team of people to collaborate on the same page
    at the same time. This can be used as an instructional strategy to
    encourage students to investigate, write, and work together in
    discussion. This is a great technology to use to incorporate Social
    Literacy in the classroom because the students are able to learn
    together.
    How can be this taught?
    This should be taught to children through communication in order to
    obtain great social skills.
    Using Social literacy online during a group project, or communicating
    with classmate is an important way for students to practice the basic
    concepts of literacy.
