New Literacies: Teachers & Learners

Gavin DudeneyParis, 11/09

What is digital literacy?

the ability to understand and use informationin multiple formats from a wide range ofsources when it is presented via computers.

the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate,and create information using digital technology (…).Digitally literate people can communicate and workmore efficiently, especially with those who possess thesame knowledge and skills.

(…) our professors who are digital immigrantssee the technology as a series of 'programs'or 'things' or - in linguistic terms - nouns.

Today’s students, if they are 'native speakers'of digital technology view it in a very differentway. They see technology as the means ofgetting things done: of communicating, ofsharing, of presenting, etc. In linguisticterms our students see technology as verbs.

Are you digitally literate?

• I have five or more friends who I met on the Net

• I check my email first thing in the morning

• When going out in town I first check the web for suggestions / directions

• I share my digital photos online for friends and family to see

• I often use my credit card to pay online

• I often download or buy music online

• I read at least five blogs a day

• I post comments on other people’s blogs

• I have my own blog that I update regularly

• I am a member of at least one social networking site

• I often chat with friends / colleagues via instant messaging software

• I often share amusing websites / videos with friends and colleagues

• I’ve edited a Wikipedia entry

• I use my mobile phone primarily for texting

• I get my news online, not from a newspaper

• I don’t watch live TV, but record it and watch it when I like

• I met my partner online

Why is it important?

because shift happens…

…to the human race

…to technology

…to mobility

…to them!

…but often not to us!

I don’t know anythingabout technology…

My students know so muchmore about computers thanI do.

I don’t like them so Idon’t see why I shoulduse them in class.

Using computers isn’t interactive –my learners could do computerwork at home.

I get the opportunity of "hanging" withstudents daily. Are they tech-comfy? Youbet. Tech-savvy? Not even close in manycases. Just because our students and kidsare digital natives (or digital residents?), itdoesn't mean they are tech-literate.Mike Sansone - http://tinyurl.com/4m3dlq

…to our roles

Don’t teach your kids to read for the Web (…). Don’t teach your kidsto write online. Since when do kids need an audience? (…) Noconnecting, now. No social networking, or online chat (…). Blogsand twitter? How self-absorbed! (…) And definitely, absolutely,resolutely, no cell phones.

Block it all. It’s evil, you know. There’s bad stuff out there – gottakeep your children safe. Don’t you know collaboration is justanother word for cheating? Don’t you know how much junk is outthere? Haven’t you ever heard of sexting? Of cyberbullying?

A computer 24-7? No thanks – I don’t want them creating, sharing,thinking, learning. You know they’re just going to look at porn andhook up with predators. We can’t trust them.

Don’t do any of it, please! Really…

… cause I’m doing all of it with my kids. Can’t wait to see who hasa leg up in a decade or two, can you? http://tr.im/dontteach

Dr. Scott McLeodIowa State University

Students “tune us out.” They are convincedthat school is totally devoid of interest andtotally irrelevant to their life. In fact, they findschool much less interesting than themyriad devices they carry in their pocketsand backpacks. (…) When what is beingoffered isn’t engaging, these students trulyresent their time being wasted. In more andmore of our schools, this group is quicklybecoming the majority. The motto of thisgroup? “Engage me or enrage me.”
