Introduction
Traditionally we have focused on teaching students to
improve their social, communication and organization
skills in the classroom. 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.
What is Social Literacy?
 Social Literacy is the ability an individual has to connect effectively
with those around them by interacting, maintaining, and building
relationships.
 Social Literacy is successful when an individual can intercede their

world as family members, workers, citizens, and lifelong learners.
 Social Literacy helps students combine all of the features of literacy

and uses them to communicate with others so students are able to
express their own thoughts.
Why is Social Literacy
Important?
 Social Literacy is important because students
must learn necessary skills to communicate and
with their social circles.
 Communication is crucial no matter where you

go. Whether it is being used at home to interact
with family members or at school to discuss with Great!
peers, being socially literate allows students to
successfully expand their social circles, and
maintain those relationships.
Why is Social Literacy
Important?
 As we become more dependent on technology, we are
beginning to interact less with each other face to face.
Social Literacy helps prevent against bullying when
young people learn how to express themselves correctly.
They will learn how to handle situations with teachers
and peers in person instead of through just technology. Great!
 It is important to make sure students interact in groups.
By working in groups in the classroom the students are
practicing social skills that can be applied within and
outside of the classroom.
How can this be taught?
• Simply by modeling appropriate behaviors a teacher can
help the students learn social literacy.
• 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 a classmate is an important way for
students to practice the basic concepts of literacy.

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.
● It can also aid students in handling their friendships and
miscommunications better (on or off the internet)
● Communicating through technology also becomes more
frequent as students grow and enter adulthood.
Being Socially Literate as an
Adult with Technology
● Social networking, online courses, job
interviews.
● A majority of interaction between
adolescents is done through technology. If
students are not taught at a young age
how to be socially literate, they may find
themselves at a disadvantage in the future.
Almost every career today requires
communication through technology.
