Group Four Response: Black Hat - ICT's can produce students who may rely on the artificial brain of the computer for spelling, and the thesaurus for a bank of words for creativity rather than possessing this knowledge themselves. Texting language can add to spelling errors for students who experience spelling difficulties.

Yellow Hat - However, the power of ICT's in literacy can also be witnessed in interactive reading programs such as galaxy readers. Where the students are interactive with the reading material, and I have witnessed students with no verbal output who can demonstrate literacy skills which at some times are parallel with their peers.

 * Task Two: What are the implications of new technologies for Literacy.**

Group One Response: It's here to stay and it is very much what the children's lives are about now. It is essential for their future employment opportunities. Skills need to be up to date as the technology is forever changing. Spelling and grammar skills will suffer because of the methods of chatting virtually (e.g. online chat rooms, text messaging). --> It is almost like being bilingual. English is being broken down and changing to suit the context that it is used in. We are developing a new dialect.
