Digital Fluency, Literacy or Technology: what’s the difference? |

Digital Fluency, Literacy or Technology: what’s the difference? | | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Digital fluency remains on the lips of many educators and leaders around the country at the moment. TKI suggests ‘A digitally fluent person can decide when to use specific digital technologies to achieve their desired outcome. They can articulate why the tools they are using will provide their desired outcome.’ (TKI) But isn’t it a little more than that? I would argue that a digitally fluent person also understands who the learning audience is and, as a result, how to create the most impact. Beyond that, it’s an understanding of where to publish to reach an audience.

Embracing Multimodal Learning

Taylor began by discussing the evolution in literacy that has been taking place over recent decades. When he arrived at the UNCCH English Department, it did not yet have Internet, but changes came about quickly. In 2000 UNCCH became one of the first large universities to have a laptop requirement. The racing technological evolution changed what it meant to be literate in a modern university, and resulted in a need to teach broader and more diverse skills. Taylor pointed out that almost all universities in the US are rethinking their general education experience. We are being asked to demonstrate what we are doing to enhance student growth and experience, and why. The result is the adoption of new technology platforms, which provide not only improved tools for students to synthesize their learning, but also finished, creative samples that can be displayed to prospective students.

Digital Fluency: Empowering All Students - DML Central

Digital Fluency: Empowering All Students - DML Central | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Although “digital literacy” is often a phrase associated with programs that have utopian pedagogical visions, it also can become a term attached to rigid curricular requirements, standardized testing, and models of education that stigmatize some students as remedial when it comes to their basic programming skills or their abilities to use software productively.  Furthermore, the term “digital literacy” can generate conflicts among educators because many different disciplines may claim sole responsibility for providing any needed instruction, as I’ve argued elsewhere.  Computer scientists, media scholars, librarians, composition teachers, and digital arts instructors have all made supposedly exclusive

Digital Literacy and Information Fluency in Higher Ed

Digital Literacy and Information Fluency in Higher Ed | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Consuming information online is no more than a click, scroll, or swipe these days. All searches are not created equal and rarely do we think about fact checking what we find on the Internet. I am not alone in thinking about how “…the Internet is actually changing the way we read the way we reason, and even the way we think, and all for the worse” (The Death of Expertise, Nicols, 2017, p. 111). In higher education, I think it is imperative we teach our learners and colleagues about what it means to participate and interact in digital spaces and places. How can our institutions help students, staff, and faculty “be” online and consider how both information and digital environments impact knowledge sharing and learning?

Truth, lies and the internet a report into young people’s digital fluency | DMLcentral

The internet is now almost certainly the greatest source of information for people living in the UK today. We use it to read up on what is happening in the world, to get advice about things that worry us, to argue and collaborate, to decide who to vote for and who to date. The information we access and consume on the internet is central to forming our attitudes, our beliefs, our views about the world around us and our sense of who we are within it.
