Multiple Literacies for the 21st Century

This one-day workshop offers an in-depth exploration of multiple literacies required for success in the 21^st century.  At one time “literacy” was considered to be the ability to read and write, and perhaps do math. 

According to Douglas Kellner, Ph.D. at UCLA “literacy involves gaining the skills and knowledge to read and interpret the text of the world and to successfully navigate its challenges, conflicts and crises.  Literacy is a necessary condition to equip people to participate in the local, national and global economy, culture and polity.”
