Age Appropriate Tools for New Literacies

Digital literacy tools are intended to enhance our students' understanding and reading comprehension skills. My biggest struggle is using all of the tools given and also using age appropriate ones. I want to be able to apply these tools given, but which ones? I decided to look into this more after reading on New Literacies. I came across this website:
http://www.noodletools.com/debbie/literacies/. This website has different teacher resources and tools that we can use that seem age appropriate for elementary students. Technology and the world around us is changing one day at a time, so we have to be willing to change with it. New Literacies are very important especially in the 21st century. I also really liked this image that includes all the New Literacies and what each one means. Hopefully this is a helpful guide for you. I will be using this in my classroom to remind myself of what they are and to challenge myself to be a New Literacy teacher!
