Our Mind Set: Our world has flattened and is interconnected Information is just going to continue to grow exponentially Students of today and tomorrow learn differently than we did We are life long learners We are self-directed learners The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but the ones who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn (Alvin Toffler) How we connect with each other is how learning occurs (Stephen Wilmarth) Collaboration and sharing knowledge are highly prized skills (Alan November) 3. Combining face-to-face and technology helps engage the teacher and students into a learning community where everyone benefits and grows into a lifelong learner. Learning is becoming relationship-based or a huge learning network (Nellie Deutsch) . 4. What are Digital Literacies? They refer to our ability to effectively make use of the technologies at our disposal. Its not only a checklist of technical skills, but also about the social practices that surround the use of new media. So not just knowing how to create a blog entry, but knowing how to use this to connect with a wider community of readers and writers, and what sort of online persona one projects though one's post. Not just knowing how to upload photos to Flickr ( a photo sharing site), but knowing whether to publish them under a Creative Commons license and what this implies in terms of digital rights and usage. http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/articles/digital-literacies-what-are-they-why-should-we-ca 5. 5-lenses Model / Pegrum, M.
