Donald Clark Plan B: 21st Century Skills are so last century! - 1 views

  •  
    Across the Arab world young people have collaborated on Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube to bring down entire regimes. Not one of them has been on a digital literacy course. And, in any case, who are these older teachers who know enough about digital literacy to teach these young people? And how do they teach it - through collaborative, communication on media using social media - NO. By and large this stuff is shunned in schools. We learn digital literacy by doing, largely outside of academe. To be frank, it's not something they know much about.

How To Make Students Better Online Researchers - 2 views

  •  
    Getting kids to really focus on what exactly they are searching for, and then be able to further distill idea into a few key specific search terms is a skill that we must teach students, and we have to do it over and over again. We never question the vital importance of teaching literacy, but we have to be mindful that there are many kinds of "literacies". An ever more important one that ALL teachers need to be aware of is digital literacy.

Investing in Digital Literacy through Social Media | Social Media Club - 1 views

  •  
    The insertion of social media in education has the potential to advance core aims of our society: to teach students how to engage with their families, neighbors, and communities in a new way. The combination of social media and education requires that we teach students how to become literate in a digital world. The skills of literacy are no longer just about reading and writing, but about abilities that surround our responsibilities as authors. In Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action, researcher Renee Hobbs offers that digital and media literacy is constructed of five crucial abilities:

6 Things To Teach Students About Social Media - Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    "Today's society is becoming more and more socially focused with each passing day. Social media is not simply a passing trend; it is here to stay. Now more than ever, students need to understand the basics of social media and how it can affect their future both negatively and positively. A strong or weak social media presence now affects both college admissions and the workforce."

Putting digital and information literacies into practice - 0 views

  •  
    In combination with academic literacies, digital and information literacies represent a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills that ideally should be developed as an integral part of subject specific learning. The challenge at an institutional level is helping academic staff and students achieve this in a manner that is fully integrated and sustainable. As part of the JISC funded Digidol Project (http://digidol.cardiff.ac.uk) at Cardiff University work is being done to create a common framework and methodology to enable professional services staff, academic staff and students to arrive at a shared understanding of what literacies are required and how they can best be realised through meaningful learning and teaching practices.

The Digital Department Developing digital literacies for teaching administrators - 2 views

  •  
    via a Doug Belshaw tweet - the latest post to this UCL blog "Distributed literacy in the digital department" refers to 'Digital Literacies' (Gillen and Barton 2010) This para helpful for understanding development from info literacy. Early last year the ESRC/EPSRC Teaching and Learning Research Programme published 'Digital Literacies' (Gillen and Barton 2010) useful overview of the theoretical background. It traced the conceptual evolution of the term from its origin as a synonym for 'IT skills' through the addition of 'soft skills', in an academic context mainly criticality and evaluation and on to the Web 2.0 notion of the student as a consumer/creator/collaborator. The latest manifestation revolves around the idea literacy as a 'situated practice' i.e. it is intimately linked to the specific context of use and cannot (should not?) be considered in isolation.
