Rethinking Learning in the Age of Digital FluencyJudy O'Connell
Digital connectivity is a transformative phenomenon of the 21st century. While many have debated its impact on society, educators have been quick to mandate technology in school development - often without analysing the digital fluency of those involved, and the actual impact on learning. Is being digitally tethered creating a new learning nexus for those involved?

The current rate of technology advance, coupled with the rapid growth of the Internet, is revolutionizing society and the ways in which we communicate, connect and learn. In order to remain relevant, schools need to revise their educational objectives and prepare students with skills for a life of continual change and re-learning.

Literature in digital environments: Changes and emerging trends in Australian...Judy O'Connell
Igniting a passion for reading and research is core business for school libraries, inevitably placing the library at the centre of the 21st century reading and learning experience. It is in this context that digital literature creates some challenging questions for teachers and librarians in schools, while the emergence of digital technology and/or device options also offers a great many opportunities. Collection development in school libraries encompasses an understanding of the need to contextualise these e-literature needs within the learning and teaching experiences in the school. The Australian Library and Information Association’s 2013 statement Future of collections 50:50 predicted that library print and ebook collections in libraries would establish a 50:50 equilibrium by 2020 and that this balance would be maintained for the foreseeable future. This statement from the Australian professional body raised the need to know more about e-collections in school libraries. For teacher librarians in Australian schools, the nature of online collections, and the integration of ebooks into the evolving reading culture is influenced by the range and diversity of texts, interfaces, devices, and experiences available to complement existing print and media collections or services. Management and budget constraints also influence e-collections. By undertaking a review of the literature, a discussion of the education context, and a critical analysis of the trends evidenced by national survey data, this paper presents an overview of the changes and emerging trends in digital literature and ebook collections in school library services in Australia today.
The digital revolution has given us a world of global connectedness, information organisation, communication and participatory cultures of learning, giving teachers the opportunity to hone their professional practice through their networked learning community. What do you do to make it so?

Closing presentation, Univest\'08, The student as the axis of change in university, Girona, Spain, 3 June, 2008
Today’s youth lead online lifestyles. They interact in online communities, build relationships, express themselves, stay informed, and find answers to life’s questions all online. Notebook PCs, smartphones, and wireless networks provide access to social networks anywhere, anytime. This generation, the iGeneration, is accustomed to on-demand, individualized service, and is becoming increasingly intolerant of traditional teaching methods where lectures and textbooks assume that “one size fits all” and that learning takes place through individual effort in a classroom. As teachers struggle to satisfy tech-savvy students, we also face pressure to serve increasing numbers of students with fewer resources. Some schools are finding success in dealing with these issues through innovative uses of technologies. Moving curricula online, adopting online pedagogies that emphasize exploration and collaboration, designing engaging activities such as “serious games,” and implementing online learning communities are key to connecting with the iGeneration. This presentation looks at current research in innovative online education technologies, along with the presenter’s own work in the area.
This presentation looks at the generation of students in our K-12 schools today. The focus needs to be on the students in our classes without stereotyping students as digital natives. The focus also needs to be on relationships and not on technology. The presentation was delivered on Dec. 8, 2011 to the Newfoundland Labrador Association of Directors of Education (NLADE).

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Finding Literacy in Computer Literacyquot;,
August 2004
12. So, what does literacy mean?
Literacy today depends on
understanding the multiple media
that make up our high-tech reality
and developing the skills to use
them effectively.
In our 21st century society—
accelerated, media-saturated, and
automated—a new literacy is
required, one more broadly
defined than the ability to read
and write.

13. So, what does literacy mean?
DIGITAL NATIVE VS. DIGITAL IMMIGRANT: Often, a classroom filled
with digitally literate students is being led by linear-thinking,
technologically stymied instructors.
Digital and visual literacies are the next wave of communication
specialization. We have technologies at our fingertips not only to
communicate but to create, to manipulate, to design, to self-actualize.
Children learn these skills as part of their lives, like language, which they
learn without realizing they are learning it. (Prensky)
Few educational organizations have developed comprehensive technology
plans that specify technical learning objectives or ensure successful
integration of technology to enhance students’ digital and visual literacy.
14. Being Literate Today Means
Finding the information
Processing different media
Decoding the information
Analyzing the information
Critically evaluating the information
Organizing it into personal digital libraries
Creating information in a variety of media
Teaching the information to find the user
Filtering the information gleaned
16. We Live in a Remix Culture
In a remix culture, digital objects are meant
rearranged,
to be changed,
rethought, juxtaposed,
discussed and shaped…
shaped
not
just consumed.
17. Living in a Remix Culture
Currently, teachers' are concerned about
the ease with which students can plagiarize
Instead of trying to outfox this cheating,
we need to be giving entirely different
kinds of assignments...ones that absolutely
demand that students design and create
far more complex and intriguing
performances of their understanding.quot;

18. Reading Across
a Dozen Literacies
We need a broadened conception of reading to capture
the many different types of reading that occur when
considering information in different formats across
different media. Students must now be able to quot;read a
facequot; as well as a page, must be able to read a
photograph or a chart or a situation. Reading as
understanding applies to many aspects of life.
~Jamie McKenzie, FromNowOn

19. Reading Across
a Dozen Literacies
What is a literacy?
– the capacity to analyze, interpret and
understand information within a particular
category of information or within a particular
medium.
~Jamie McKenzie, FromNowOn
http://www.fno.org/mar09/dozen.html
21. Natural Literacy
Despite the pleasure in
reading nature few children
today seem interested in the
habits and movements of the
natural world. In a childhood
full of iPods, cell phones, video
games, and organized play-
dates, children frequently
form relationships only to the
cartoon versions of the
natural world.
http://www.seanursery.com/water/60
22. Media Literacy
Media literacy involves the
capacity and the inclination to
cut past the distortions and
manipulation often typical of
today's news, communications
and entertainment media in
order to build an understanding
of the world that is at least
partially grounded in reality.
http://www.fno.org/mar09/dozen.htm

23. Ethical Literacy
Many schools have embraced
problem-based learning as a
way to involve students in
wrestling with real world
challenges - an excellent way
to introduce them to the
moral and ethical aspects of
modern life.
A similar approach is called
Authentic Learning -

Newmann and Gary G.

Authentic Instruction.quot;
24. Moving Towards:

and documents that
mirror the real work
