  • digital literacy means using technology thoughtfully and responsibly. Today, digital literacy is not a privilege or just a convenience, it's an expected and often required part of being productive and responsible citizen, by inviting more people to become digitally literate we can improve our own future in the way basic literacy  improved societies in the past "
  • It is thanks to literacy that human thinking developed to include more abstract and syllogistic concepts which constituted the foundational pillars of science. Literacy also enabled humans to build a civilization through the encoding and sharing of collective wisdom.

  • Educators and researchers share their views on why technology integration is an important strategy for 21st century classrooms.

      Our learners today are trapped in these tech era, in which we are the Digital Immigrants and our perspective, openness and technology flexibility is different. Understanding the needs and interest of our students will motivate and inspire their learning path!
  • The first thing the teacher needs to do is to understand what kids do and the range of it; she has to understand what her own children do.

  • Then you have a boss, which is a test, and you pass the test. (Games are) part of the solution of getting kids in school to learn not just knowledge as facts, but knowledge as something you produce. And in the modern world, you produce collaboratively."
  • Let them teach you how they engage with games and other digital media. Let them talk about it, reflect on it, because this is very good for their learning.

      These article highlights that our students need to focus on the learning process and then the technology tools selected to make the creation. That teachers are an important piece for students learning analysis and knowledge acquisition.
  • The second thing you can do is that you can find the resources and other people all over the web who are using a variety of digital tools in different settings and schools. Your setting might be very restrictive, or your setting might be very liberal, but you can go and find other people out there doing it."
  • Despite the popularity of the term "digital native," we should not assume that our students know how to use technology to create quality projects that show deep understanding of content.
  • herefore, technology integration may not look the way we want it to until our students move beyond familiarity with tools and into being able to choose the correct tool for the job.
  • "We cannot expect our students to jump in and create a meaningful piece of work that shows their applied understanding of a concept using a tech tool if we do not give them time to really explore not only the content, but the tool itself.

  • Overcoming obstacles to effective differentiation
  • Many of the obstacles to implementing differentiated instruction can be overcome with the effective use of technology. Teachers who feel ill-prepared to address the diverse needs of their students, for example, have ready access to more options than ever before as a result of the wide range of software and hardware tools available. Technology can equip teachers to address students’ needs in an almost limitless number of ways, through content input, learning activities, and opportunities to demonstrate comprehension. And because many students come to the learning environment with a predisposition for using it seamlessly, technology can become an intermediary that bridges the relationship between teacher and student,

  • Teachers act more as facilitators, which allows for more individual attention to students who need attention and might otherwise behave inappropriately as a result.13
  • Before making the decision to use a particular technology for a particular lesson, teachers should first make decisions about the learning goals, activities, and assessments that will shape the learning experience. During the process of making these decisions, teachers can more easily envision opportunities to integrate one or more technologies.
  • Digital textbooks, both online and CD-based, offer options for accessing the same content at different levels of complexity. The digital format offers an advantage over traditional textbooks because digital publications can incorporate time-based and interactive media directly within the text.
  • Successful technology integration, however, relies on intelligent planning. Teachers must understand those variables they cannot control — students’ readiness, interest, and learning profile. Planning should begin by acknowledging those variables and understanding the learning goals. The selection of technology follows as a natural result, as teachers select appropriate tools for manipulating those variables they can control — content, process, product, and environment. Differentiated instruction designed with these principles in mind ensures classrooms that are rich centers of learning for all students.
