UCET2011Literacy

Disclaimer: This session will focus on literacy Apps for upper elementary and secondary.

**Literacy** has traditionally been described as the ability to read and write.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ([|UNESCO]) defines literacy as the "ability to **identify**, **understand**, **interpret**, **create**, **communicate**, **compute** and **use printed and written materials** associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society."
