 **What are Multiliteracies?**  According to Hill (2006, p.333.) Multiliteracies consist of "electronic literacies, technoliteracies, digital literacies, visual literacies, and print-based literacies". In this day and age children are exposed to many new, different and exciting technologies. Teachers must rethink the way they incorporate literacy into the classroom as using these multiliteracies improve students decoding and encoding of texts (Hill 2006, p.323). Programs such as Microsoft Office and Kidz Pix are increasingly being used in the classroom

A Great Program that is easy for kids to use is called 'Photostory' and you can create a slideshow of photos and add text, transitions etc. Here is one I created below: media type="file" key="PhotoStory-Literacy[1].wmv"
