Editor's Notes
- My views, but probably those of many others also!
- Teachers and students both need to become digitally literate. Not as simple as digital natives & digital immigrants (Prensksy) What else is part of digital literacy?
- And provides another important skill set in addition to literacy and numeracy Emphasises adaptability and responding to future needs Implies a moving away from paid-for services towards open or free-to-use Also implies ‘any time, any place’ – mobile devices
- Welsh Government initiatives: Delivering a Digital Wales: 2011 Learning in a Digital Wales : 2012 Also: For Our Future; One Wales
- Any other news items? The Guardian’s focus on ICT & programming skills – not quite what I think of as ‘Digital Literacy’
- (Go to website?) NB: mobile devices/cloud computing – any place, any time learning
- Dabbleboard: online 'whiteboard' that can be used to share and collaborate using drawings and images as well as text. Operates in a very similar way to 'TypeWith.me' with no login Questions:- What sort of digital skills/knowledge/resources would be useful for you or your learners? How can we keep pace with future developments? Which tools/concepts have you found useful?
- http://polldaddy.com/ http://www.meetomatic.com/calendar.php Netvibes; iGoogle etc – importance of RSS feeds
- C4LPT & Paul’s e-learning resources – two good sites for digital tools
- NMC: New Media Consortium (Horizon project /reports – collaboration between NMC & JISC. Orgs like ALT involved – Observatory Project: http://blog.observatory.jisc.ac.uk/about-the-jisc-observatory/) Poss tools/technologies: augmented reality (eg. Layar); mobile apps; shift from desk-top to tablet/ other mobile; learning analytics
