About this Unit
In 2015 this unit replaced by 102101 Diverse Literacies. This unit will explore the impact of globalisation and new information and communication technologies on literacy and literacy learning. It takes a broad view of literacy that includes viewing and creating multimodal texts and critical literacy, as well as reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students will examine contemporary theories of literacy and the implications of these theories for early childhood educators.
