ICT a Tool to Promoting Literacy

Mokhtari Farida, Moulay Slimane University (Morocco)

Abstract

        Literacy is a dynamic concept that extends beyond the basic acquisition of reading and writing skills. Nowadays, in this globalised world, Literacy in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is fundamental to life in our modern technological society. To equip students to be literate life-long learners and global citizens of the 21st century we must successfully integrate ICT into both the teaching and learning development of the Educational curriculum and Educational pedagogical practice. Indeed, the rapid changes in information, communication and automation technologies have become linked and interrelated to literacy. The ICT tool has become more of a necessity in our daily life now rather than a facility. Through ICT, learning can occur anytime and anywhere. Online course materials, for example, can be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These advances in information technology have revolutionised how people communicate and learn in nearly every aspect of this modern life.

      The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it's an attempt to provide an overview of literacy as a basic skill along with the potential use of (ICT) in promoting that area. Second, it deals with the role of (ICT) in redefining literacy to meet the needs of a modern society and the beneficial impact and the learning outcome and effectiveness of (ICT) on literacy development and its expanding access to education.
