Literacy And Computer Literacy: Analyzing The NRC's Being Fluent With Informatio
What does research tell us about literacy and computer literacy that The NRC report on reading and the NRC report on computer literacy share a silence.

Extractions: Literacy and Computer Literacy: Analyzing the NRC's Being Fluent with Information Technology Kate Williams, The University of Michigan Background As Alvin Toffler expressed it in 1980, the world is experiencing a third wave of technological and social transformation. Manuel Castells (1996) characterizes what is emerging as a network society, organized around information and communications technology. The second wave industrial revolution was associated with broad efforts to expand literacy so as to incorporate people into urban work and life: the establishment of public schools, public libraries, the expansion of print publication, and the concept and promotion of the three Rs. Today we see policymakers and scholars, public institutions and grassroots movements, striving for broad computer access and asserting that being able to use a computer is a requirement for democracy and participation in the workforce. The United States has invested a great deal of public and private resources to install information computer technology (ICT) and adjust our culture and society to it. In the public sector, schools have been wired and computers have been installed, first in dedicated labs and then in classrooms. Essentially every public library outlet in the US provides Internet access to patrons, and libraries show patrons how to browse the Web. Computers loaded with mostly Microsoft software, using online services provided mostly by AOL Time Warner, can be found in six of ten American homes. As a nation, what are we teaching when we teach computers? What should we teach? What is computer literacy?

Select this link to order this issue of ATF Khaitsa Wasiyo * In 1989, the Hasegawa family of the Kyoto Computer Gakuin (KCG) established the International Development of Computer Education (IDCE) program, a special program to expand computer education. Over the past six years, the IDCE program has donated almost 2,000 computers and provided computer instruction to countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America. IDCE, which has also been registered as a non-profit corporation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is headed by Yu Hasegawa, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University. Her mother, Yasuko Hasegawa, presides over the KCG in Kyoto, where over 2,500 students study computer science. Founded by Shigeo and Yasuko Hasegawa in 1963, KCG was the first private computer institute to be established in Japan. IDCE's launched its first project in Thailand by donating 300 8-bit personal computers. It was such a success that several projects have been completed in other developing countries. Hundreds of computers have been sent to secondary and upper level schools in Thailand, Ghana, Poland, Kenya, Peru, and Zimbabwe. IDCE's goal is to widen access to basic computers for educational purposes in developing countries, where often there is no public access to computer technology. The program aims to increase basic computer skills and encourage computer education. The program is also a medium for encouraging cultural exchange between Japan and participating countries. Ms. Hasegawa says, "We believe that the spread of education in science and technology can be the key to a country's future economic independence and prosperity." Not everyone agrees with her, however. "I have been told that what Africa needs is not computers, but water and clothes and other necessities of life. But I think they need both. The African people have a great desire to learn and to utilize the tools of modern technology. I believe that if we provide the seed, this capability will flourish."

http://www.uni-duisburg.de/FB3/ROMANISTIK/PERSONAL/Burr/humcomp/ACO*HUM/literacy

Extractions: Students should be computer literate before they take part in courses which integrate advanced computing methods or which are entirely devoted to advanced computing in the humanities. In common parlance the term "computer literacy" often refers rather loosely to the basic skills that the use of a computer requires, i.e. the "ABCs of computing", without any particular thought given to the more advanced applications which concern us here. Experience at various European institutions suggests that the kind of familiarity with operating systems, wordprocessing and the Internet with which students should be equipped is sufficiently universal across the arts and sciences that it is best taught non-academically, by computing services. Although the demand for the instruction of some of these skills like for example wordprocessing and the Internet might decline in the future as the percentage of technically adept students reaching university increases, computing centres should continue even then to teach skills which are normally not aquired, like for example the handling of operating systems, but which are needed for problem solving even with windows-types machines. Although mere "computer literacy" is really not our concern, we may need in practice to accommodate its lack until that has disappeared. The same applies to varying degrees to other fundamental computing methods, such as numerical and graphical analytic tools, as in spreadsheets, to database management software and to programming.

http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/programs/literacy/

Extractions: In Poly's Computer Science Department, "computer literacy" can mean three somewhat different things: literacy with a computer, a university graduation requirement, or a group of the department's courses. Because computers and their applications are so diverse and changing so rapidly, no one is completely computer literate. However, the term "computer literacy" usually refers to basic skills of use to students in any field, as opposed to those needed only by computer professionals. You can increase your computer literacy in many ways: just sitting down at a computer and trying things, perhaps with a skilled friend or a good how-to book at your side; taking non-credit workshops offered on campus by Information Technology Services, the Library, or the College of Business; or taking a for-credit course offered by this or other departments on campus. You may see references to the term "information competency": This means about the same thing as "computer literacy", but with more of an emphasis on skills of interest to librarians, such as how to find and evaluate information on the Web. Students graduating under the General Education requirements in the 2000-2001 or earlier catalogs must fulfill an "Area F - Technology" requirement which most students complete by earning credit for an approved "Computer Literacy" course. Many of these courses are designed for students in specific majors and are not "computer literacy" courses in the popular sense. For a discussion of how to use credit by examination to fulfill the Area F - Computer Literacy requirement of an old catalog, and what courses on campus are regarded as equivalent to courses on the approved Area F list, click on "Course Challenge" at the bottom of this page.

Actually it can be fairly easily functional it does not make one computer literate function independently with a computer system. This functionality comes from an understanding of the concepts terminology and operations that relate to general computer use and includes being able to solve and avoid problems, adapt to new situations, manage information, and communicate effectively with other computer literate people." Note that this definition says nothing specific about software. It stresses a general understanding of the principles and concepts involved in using any computer, much like learning what side of the road to drive on and how to interpret traffic lights and street signs before getting behind the wheel of a car. Once you have a clear understanding of the digital nature of hardware, software and data you can safely and effectively begin using a computer. Once you are literate in this sense, you are prepared to become functional. From this definition we can then build a meaningful set of standards and teaching methods for computer literacy. Without a consensus on how we define computer literacy and develop the educational standards for it, we will fall far short of the potential and promise of Information Age.

Extractions: Computer Literacy O ne of my former students recently relayed this story about trying to find a job. We'll call her Dawn. Dawn graduated several years ago. She had been a successful model and employment had not been a problemuntil recently. When Dawn finally had to start trying to find another type of job, she found in interview after interview that computer literacy (familiarity with a computer and major computer programs) was a prerequisite to employment. Since Dawn had been a bit computer phobic while in collegeour school didn't require computer literacy at that timeshe managed to get a degree without ever confronting a computer. After months of searching for a job, Dawn had to admit that sidestepping computer literacy hadn't been a good idea. She enrolled in a computer course at an adult vocational school. Ironically, although she had been computer phobic, she took to computers so much that after about a year she opened her own computer-based business. And, no, I'm not making this up! A round every corner in TV stations and production facilities today you'll see desktop and laptop computers. They are on the desk of the receptionist when you enter the building, on the desks of sales and continuity employees, on every desk in the TV newsroom, in editing bays, and even in production control rooms.
