Digital Literacy
How can we understand
these concepts?
Information Literacy
Media Literacy
Media Education
“The school and the family
share the responsibility of
preparing the young person
for living in a world of
powerful images, words
and sounds.” (UNESCO, 1982)
UNESCO
Grunwald Declaration
on Media Education
1982
EU
A European approach to
media literacy in the digital
2007
“Media literacy is defined
as the ability to access,
understand, critically
evaluate and create media
content.” (A European approach to
media literacy in the digital environment
[COM(2007) 833)
It’s not all about technical
skills.

Participants
• The new forms of writing should
also become the "requirement of
every person" (Cantoni & Tardini,
2008: 30), because – following
the metaphor of writing – using
digital media is similar to
someone who can read but
cannot write.

Conclusions
lost in the
concepts?
• Building a consensus on
language
• More than nomenclatures, is
what they enunciate and what
they value
• Using theoretical approach to
make things happen

Editor's Notes

  • #2  Complexity and limitations of the concepts A very pragmatic approach to theory
  • #6 O Collected around 8o documents produced or spnosored by theses 3 institutions.
  • #7 How can we make sense of these concepts? Can you find any caracteristic that shows the diferrences between them
  • #8 It’s not as simple as that
  • #11 Literacy
  • #12 The relation with information is essential in digital literacy. This complex Searching: students should know different sources of information (scientific platforms; a job website…) Creating Organizing Using ethically Sharing (ethically and safely) Filing / collecting (great amounts of data) Curating Labeling Using for research purposes, as well as for personal uses, such as traveling Creating and managing communities connected by a specific interest Creating messages with impact Disseminating (artistic content; political messages…) Presenting This is essential. So congratulations for having this position. I think it is really innovative and strategic.
  • #14 Do you consider you re implmenting
  • #15 We should ask ouserlves where does it come from, this need of mapping Obviously it is part of any research, but I can show that even though after more than 30 years after the unesco declarition we still don’t have the field well definied. Probable it’s because we have been facing so many and fast changes in the the media ladscape. BTW, I undestrandn that we need maps but I rely enjoy to get lost and find new places and make the connections and bridges by my own On the other sie, we shouldn’t trust maps because sometimes they don’t consider all the details Destaco só que é bom ter mapas – mas talvez nem sempre esses mapas serão o espelho fiel ou fiãvel do terreno Pessoalmente… A importância de se perder para descobrir novos lugares, eventualmente escondidos (fazer ligacoes entre pontos sem ser de metro)
  • #17 LinkedIn as portfolio
  • #18 LinkedIn as portfolio
  • #19 In this discussion, it is important not to lose sight of the essential, that is to build a consensus on language that will further develop the area, because ultimately "more than nomenclatures, is what they enunciate and what they value" (Pinto et al, 2011: 20). And there is another important point: how can we build on this theoretical approach, practical initiatives able to develop digital skills? This is the reason underneath the initiative that is the focus of this chapter. So this Cratography should be an issue – this is my pragmatic approach.
