Digital+Literacy

by
Spencer Gardner, Sara Wiley, and Donna Thomas

The Voice Thread Collaborative project that we took on was Digital Literacy. We explore the capacity of using digital technology as well as knowing when and how to use it for educational purposes, for example the creation of digital stories. Some other topics we explore include digital basics, such as email and search engines, and the reliability of online resources. Our presentation is intended for an audience of our peers: fellow classmates and educators. Following a brief introduction on digital literacy, we give specific examples of how technology should and should not be used by educators. Fellow collaborators are:
