From Page to Pixel

John McVerry's 'Cornerstone of a New Literacies Curriculum' (2012) highlights "the ever-shifting nature of learning as we shift from page to pixel" (Hartman, Morsnik, and Zheng, 2010.  McVerry says how EACH DAY new digital texts and tools emerge. Students that are entering Kindergarten this year do not know the world without iPads, tablets,etc.  In the four+ years these pieces of technology have become integral parts of our daily lives.  Some students may not have ever held a traditional book instead they may have only been exposed to e-books and turn pages with the swipe of their finger.  With these students entering school today teachers need to include three pedagogical cornerstones in their daily teaching.  Using these cornerstones will help students become successful learners and prepare them for the ever changing world.
