According to Price-Dennis et al. (2015) the 21st century literacies in the classroom include:

Price-Dennis et al. (2015)

1. Develop proficiency and fluency with the tools of technology
2. Build intentional cross-cultural connection and relationships with others to pose and solve problems collaboratively and strengthen independent thought.
3. Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes.
4. Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information
5. Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts.

RIGHT

"Inequality is not unjust insofar as education is one of society’s ‘opportunities’. It is

free and compulsory, and through education you can become anything you like and

succeed on your own terms—if you have the will and the ‘ability’, that is."

LEFT

"The goal of education is equality. Whether their vision is wishful or utopian, nothing

less than equality is an acceptable objective, even if in the short term all that can be

achieved in education is to pursue an ongoing struggle to reduce the gap between the

haves and the have-nots—hence the compensatory programs, the remedial curriculum

for children who have been ‘left behind’ and the special efforts made in schools in

poor neighborhoods."
