As long the arrival of new literacy era, No one would deny technology is seen as a tool/skill for the convenience in our present life. Students and teachers are provided the ICT skills to facilitate the more bi-beneficial environment. After reading the two articles, I understood more about the advantages of the application of technology in class and how to prevent the concerns of privacy and plagiarism. There are so many sharing platforms for teachers to exploit. For instance, like Edmodo, the best part mentioned in "Using Social Networking Sites to Facilitate Teaching and Learning in the Science Classroom" was students would contribute their discovery and efforts instead of “friending” their classmates.
From the successful real-life case, I am encouraged to embrace the ICT skills due to more and more control/design-friendly features and is easily compatible with each other. Through the international platform, it ensures teachers could get more resource in teaching pool globally and create more entertaining lessons to boost students’ motivation and help them monitor the progress of students’ learning and get surprising feedback from students.
For diverse learners, new literacy can assist them to get more according to their need and learning pace. Generally speaking, in these articles, I could vision new literacy as a must-be a tool to lead our students to jump to another learning format and help them learn anytime anywhere, and I believe as educators who adapted the new literacy skills earlier than their peers have already recognized the power of technology!
