Multiliteracies

__** Multiliteracies **__         In this current day individuals are exposed to the ever expanding technology of multiliteracies. It is important that young children become multiliterate to enable them to keep up with new technologies. Children are exposed to multimedia very early in life.These forms of multimedia include ‘DVDs CD-ROMs, computer games, digital music, email, text  massaging and digital photography, to name just a few.’ (Hill, 2006, p.322)     Multiliteracy learning is extremely flexible and therefore can easily cater for individual needs. Children can use the computer and the internet to research things, such as animals or locations, which are of interest to them and then display them in different formats, for example; in power point or make their own blog, internet page etc. When teaching children multiliteracies it is important to connect with children by teaching them something that they already have some prior knowledge of and they are interested in. **__Multiliteracies Map__**
