The document discusses the importance of developing effective digital citizens through digital literacy education. It argues that students today struggle with information overload and need to be taught critical thinking and evaluation skills to make sense of the vast amounts of information available online. The document advocates getting digital literacy into school curriculums to prepare students to be active participants in the digital world and teach them skills like searching, communicating, collaborating, and creating online communities.

The Beautiful, Messy, Inspiring, and Harrowing World of Online LearningGeorge Veletsianos
Keynote at the 2014 BCNET conference in Vancouver, BC. In this presentation I shared stories of learners' and scholars' experiences online, arising from multiple years of qualitative research studies, and framed in the context of the historic realities of educational technology practice. These stories illustrate how emerging technologies and open practices have (a) broadened access to education, (b) reinforced privilege, and (c) re-imagined the ways that academics enact and share scholarship. They also illustrate the multiple realities that exist in online education practice, and the differences between reality and potential and beautiful vs. ugly online education.
Using Web 2.0 Tools to Create a Professional Learning EnvironmentJulie Lindsay
Every professional educator needs online spaces for portfolio development and fostering interaction and collaboration. This presentation will look at online tools that can be used to collate and present resources, to invite community interaction and contributions and to use as a platform for personal expression. It will take the perspective of the educator who has needs for storage of ideas and tools, presentation of educational artefacts, collaboration and access to other educators online. Using freely available Web 2.0 tools every educator can develop a PLE to complement their educational objectives. This presentation is produced using established online resources including blogging, wiki development, social networking tools and podcasting.

Retech: Digital Innovation and Integration in the ClassroomKathryn Schravemade
Presentation for @eduwebinar with @helenstower1
A key goal of future proof education is to ensure students are engaging with information, people and technologies as ‘connected learners’ and that this engagement is effective, safe and ethical.
In our particular school setting, it was identified that traditional ICT subjects focused on the development of software usage skills, which no longer supported the evolving needs of our students. Instead we needed students to develop skills in digital citizenship so that they could participate effectively in an online and networked world. Retech (Research and Technology) is a Middle Years learning experience that has developed in response to this need.
This presentation will explore some of the skills taught in Retech:
Cybersafety & building a positive digital footprint;
Information literacies such as smart searching, curation, effective note taking, licensing and attribution;
Using blogs and social media for building a PLN (Personal Learning Network);
Collaboration through shared bookmarks, notes & Google Groups;
Inquiry and problem solving; and
Creating and presenting with digital tools such as video productions, podcasts and infographics.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of LinkedIn, people are uploading presentations about what they were doing 10 years ago. I co-founded and incorporated Socialtext during the same month. This is one of the first presentations I gave about the company back then.

Digital Humanities at Small Liberal Arts Colleges
Digital methodologies and new media are changing the landscape of research and teaching in the humanities. Scholars can now computationally analyze entire corpora of texts or preserve and share materials through digital archives. Students can engage in authentic applied research linking literary texts to place or study Shakespeare in a virtual Globe Theater. Such developments collectively fall under the name “digital humanities,” which includes the humanities and humanistic social sciences and has largely been characterized by computing-intensive, collaborative, interdisciplinary projects at research institutions. Faculty, staff and students at small liberal arts colleges, however, are making significant contributions to the digital humanities, especially by engaging undergraduates both in and out of the classroom. Rebecca Frost Davis, Program Officer for the Humanities at the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), will introduce the digital humanities landscape and share examples from small liberal arts colleges.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

“Digital citizens are individuals who intuitively understand that high quality is easily available, either freely or for a fee, and who bristle when information that is public is hidden or not available in a digital form,” Gerry McCartney, professor of information technology and CIO at Purdue University (Waters 20). We cannot assume that just because a child uses an iPad, or can text faster than you can type that they are digitally fluent. We should also be cautious when interpreting the necessity of “gadgets” because people (President Obama included) misinterpret their function. They are believed to be distraction, or breed useless skills. Without the use of these devices “people lack essential information evaluation skills that are relevant for today’s information landscape” (Hamilton).
When you look at this child on the computer What do you see? I see someone we would classify as a digital native who will need to be taught how to be and effective digital citizen. Effective digital citizens “‘recognize the distinction between being comfortable using digital tools and understanding the implications of using these tools.’Dave Berque, professor of computer science at DePauw University (IN)” (Waters 20). We also expect the effective students to possess the ability to select the best tool for the task at hand (Demski).
Think back to a time... Well, to not too long ago. Do you remember a time when finding resources for a research project required an extensive amount of help from a librarian?
Now more than ever, students need to be taught the differences between credible and non-credible sources.Students should be asking/answering 3 basic questions:1.Who is the author?2. What is the purpose of this message?3. How was this message constructed?(Hobbs)
“‘The problem is not information overload. It’s filter failure.’ If you have not been taught how to discern the quality information from that which may be unreliable or frivolous, then I can see how you might perceive devices like iPods and iPads are gateways to distraction.” (Hamilton).It can. The point is our students need to be shown the dangers. Educators need a Web 2.0 scared straight reality TV show.
There is this idea out there floating around with the “digital tourists” (those not born into the digital age) that the more our society embraces technology the more likely we are to become cyber criminals. We will only fear being taken advantage over the internet if we are not responsible. It is up to us to teach todays learners the correct way to conduct themselves on the World Wide Web (Waters 19).
Educators need to teach their students the importance of safety and civility. It is not okay to participate in digital defamation, or post ridiculous videos of yourself on YouTube if you want to be taken seriously. This is just one “scary” side to being an ambassador or the digital world.
How many times have you heard someone argue that society is becoming too reliant on technology? Too many. In an Article titled “Digital Natives and Digital Tourists” I found that this argument against technology is still prevalent in schools. The idea that technology can fail us at any moment is without a doubt true, it is an exaggeration, but true. This is the reason educators need to have options AND why they should be fluent in more than just the digital world.
Technology doesn’t need to be scary. I know it can be difficult to understand or figure out, but it can lead to a world of awesome NEW learning experiences (“Digital Natives and Digital Tourists”). Educators have been granted a super power... The ability to educate 24/7!
Now is the time to teach faculty how technology can be incorporated in every subject. Librarians should guide educators to Web resources they can use in and out of class.
“Curriculum should provide context and background to further students’ understanding of global economies and current events.” (Demski).
The point is student learning. The “relationship between student and teacher has changed very little since Aristotle’s day. All technology does is offer us another way of doing what has been done for centuries.” (Cowan). The only obvious difference is that today’s learners are expected to be fluent in digital technologies in order to be competitive in the real world.
Effective digital citizens don’t start off that way. Technology is constantly changing. Students need to be taught how these new technologies are useful.
“Students must be able to gather information from any format and, more importantly, make sense of that information, use it, and communicate it to others. . . Students must also acquire the skills of digital inquiry” (Stripling).
The internet has made it possible for everyone’s voice to be heard. Your students are most likely already using Web sites like Facebook, Twitter, Blogster, Wikispaces, Glogster, Animoto, etc. and if they aren’t then they need to be. This is how the work communicates. Something that digital learners need to be aware of is that we are “responsible for filtering for quality” (Web 2.0 Expo NY).
We strive to teach kids how to think so they can figure “it” out (Waters). This is not a digital skill. It is a necessary one. One we want all students to have, to be able to do. The Web is filled with information and our students need to be able to apply this essential skill to their Web searches. They need to filter! Students need to develop the “capabilities to receive and assess the quality of messages from all forms of media, and to generate and create quality media of their own” (Demski).
Most people have no problem identifying junk mail in their inbox. Effective digital citizens need to apply this skill to their everyday Web lives.
This ability will come in handy when using search engines. Effective digital citizens should be able to use a search engine (as well as know how the search is being conducted), identify and understand accurate/relative information, and not just rely on Google for filtration.
“Students should use digital tools to access a global network of peers and to develop a sense of place and people.” (Demsik)
It is apparent that librarians and educators need to encourage the use of technology in and out of the classroom. Our students may know how to use some technologies, but educators need to demonstrate the usefulness of free and subscription based online resources (Blummer). Teachers should have class wikis, blogs, Web sites that their students can access. They should use resources like LibGuides to guide students to accurate information. They should incorporate web videos in class. They should watch as the teacher or librarian bookmarks something from the web. They should require their students to take web notes (highlight/make notations). They need to know that their are places they can save their work without needing a flashdrive. They need to know about the cloud. The bottom line is that students need to interact with the Web in and out of class.
“Making learning more convenient by offering material though cell-phone delivery, for example, will not increase students’ motivation and perseverance.” (Cowan). Like Buffy Hamilton points out in her remarks in response to President Obama’s speech, “to label devices like iPods and iPads as instruments of “distraction” and “entertainment” that are not capable of “empowerment” when you admit within the speech you don’t know how to work these gadgets” and stresses the dangers in reinforcing existing negative stereotypes about mobile computing.
The reason we need a community is because many people live in fear of our reliance on technology. “All across the nation and the world, school librarians and teachers are taking steps to ensure that digital and media literacy education offers the potential to maximize what we value most about the truly empowering characteristics of media and technology, while minimizing the negative dimensions.” (Hobbs). The community needs to understand the value of technology and embrace it in our teachings.
Curation.Librarians need to be comfortable working in the “hybrid” world, but need to become expert curators of digital information (David Wallace). Using resources like iGoogle, NetVibes, Symbaloo, Paper.li, and Scoop.it! to aggregate and share up-to-date information. They will need to know about software applications, arrangement of digital collections (including eBooks), and how these tools can support the curriculum while continuing to advance students (David Wallace).
