From Digital Literacy to Digital FluencyDavid Cain
While our students may appear to be digital natives, they rarely have the capacity to make wise or ethical decisions as they construct their digital identities. As educators, we have a moral imperative to guide our students--even in an ever-changing digital landscape.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

7. Do all of our students know how to use
Technology for learning?
Digital Natives Digital Immigrants
Prensky, 2001
Our students today are all “native speakers” of the
digital language of computers, video games and
the Internet. So what does that make the rest of
us? Those of us who were not born into the digital
world but have, at some later point in our lives,
become fascinated by and adopted many or most
aspects of the new technology are, and always will
be compared to them, Digital Immigrants.
13. Brain based research
…to an actual evolutionary change in
the wiring of today’s younger minds
– a change in neural circuitry that is
fundamentally different from that of
their parents and grandparents. (pg. 24)
While the brains of today’s young
Digital Natives are wiring up for rapid
fire cyber searches, the neural
circuitry and some parts of the brain
that normally adapt to more
traditional learning methods are
becoming less developed. (pg. 26)
16. How engaged are your teachers – what
support and tools do they need to succeed?
17. Compliant or Engaged
Karen Hume
Engagement is always about
relationship with a person,
situation, or activity (pg. 7)
District and school leaders need to
ensure that all necessary conditions
are in place to support the kinds of
technology use that can make a real
difference in student engagement
and achievement. (pg. 186)
18. Focus on the Pedagogy
“ Focus on the change in
pedagogy, not the technology.
“Learning 2.0” is about
dramatically changing the
relationship between a teacher
and students in the learning
process. Get that right and use
technology for a student-focused,
customized, collaborative learning
environment.” (pg. 148)
19. “…there is a huge paradox for
educators: the place where the
biggest educational changes
have come is not our schools;
it is everywhere else but our
schools”. (pg. 1)
Prensky, 2010

Lets not get hung up on the generation label, because what really matters is that you have to teach whoever is in your classes today!
Warning to not assume that all youth are digital natives and know how to use technology
Discuss which is more engaging for most people – to read about a topic, or to see and hear a quick visual of the topic? Most of our students who are immersed in a world full of media, would benefit from both – not just text – Differentiation is the key
