=Welcome to JSD Library Fluencies:=

The 21st century workforce demands that our children be innovative, creative and able to communicate in multiple ways. Literacy can no longer be limited to just the written word. Instead, our students need to be multi-literate to communicate effectively in a digital world where words, images and sound are combined to get a message to stand out among an onslaught of information. The Juneau School District Librarians are in the process of creating a library curriculum that responds to this need and can easily be integrated into any subject matter or grade level.

This wiki is a resource focused on the work of the [|21st Century Fluency Project] which defines [|Five Fluencies] for the Digital Citizen: 1. Information fluency 2. Solution fluency 3. Collaboration fluency 4. Creativity fluency 5. Media fluency

Here is a presentation from the 21st Century Fluency Project explaining why
 * Literacy is Not Enough: [[file:Literacy is NOT Enough.pdf]] and Understanding the Digital Generation [[file:UDG_perspective.pdf]]

This wiki has a dedicated page for each fluency to provide relevant resources and links for K-12 teachers. The JSD Librarians shared some of these resources at the Alaska State Literacy Conference in Juneau, Alaska in October of 2011.
