Short Description

Rather than focus on the literacies of consuming information, this presentation focuses on the creation of information. We can enhance student understanding of information organization and document design and publication by teaching digital portfolios. See how document-based electronic portfolios using accessible word-processing tools can develop technological literacies and introduce students to digital information distribution.
