Road Map to Digital LiteracyHow to standardize teaching in order to produce digitally literate kids who are “info-savvy, media-fluent and tech-tuned”

(Trilling & Fadel, 2009, p. 61)

The Road Blocks*

Lack of Technology Expertise

Resistance

Lack of Time

Tradition

Lack of Research

Lack of Vision

*(adapted from Lumley & Bailey, 1993)

The Road Map

Needs Assessment

Teacher Support

PLEs & PLNs

Feedback Loops

Evaluation

Quick Survey AssessmentsShort survey assessments are prepared and ready to deploy as needed to regularly update progress.

Teacher Support

Teachers will use simple online tools to create their unique Personal Learning Environment.

Personal Learning Networks will consist of those groups deemed critical to each teacher’s success.

Why PLE & PLN?

We’re in this together...• Constructivism 1

• Group-paced approach 2

1 Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2007, p. 146.2 Lebow, 1994

• Generative learning 3

• Observation & application 4

3 Wittrock (1989)4 Morrison, Ross, & Kemp (2007)

Feedback LoopsContinuous feedback helps detect as well as prevent cognitive overload. (Reigeluth, 1999)

Evaluation“Learning is promoted when learners engage in a task-centered instructional strategy” (Merrill, 2002). Such strategies are easier to assess in a constructivist manner through self and peer evaluations as well as project portfolios, thus constructing additional learning.

1 Authentic assessment strategies (Gustafson & Branch, 2002; Nelson & Erlandson, 2007).
