2014 document on developing digital literacies - some clear diagrams

"Teaching people 'how to' write an essay in Word, or 'how to' use shortcuts in their browser, or 'how to' use hashtags in Twitter is the same as giving them fish, rather than teaching them how to fish."

Description: It took tens of thousands of years for writing to emerge after speech, thousands more before the printing press was invented, and a few hundred more for the telegraph to arrive. Today, new ways of relating are constantly created and a new communication medium emerges every time someone creates a web application-a Flickr here, a Twitter there. How can we use new media to foster the kinds of communication and community we desire in education? This presentation will discuss both successful and unsuccessful attempts to integrate emerging technologies into the classroom to create a rich virtual learning environment.

Account of the news reports on Charlotte Berry @talktoteens who was vilified for being a real person on twitter. (Straight from the Street of Shame school of disgraceful journalism)
