Today my group presented our technological inquiry which was “What is digital literacy and how do we teach it in the classroom”. Our group of three covered a lot of areas: information literacy, ethical use of digital resources, understanding digital footprints, protecting ourselves online, digital communication, and cyberbullying. I focused mostly on the pros, cons, and risks of digital literacy. I feel as though I didn’t speak as much as some of my other group mates. However, I still feel confident with the amount of work I did outside of the final presentation. We discusses crash course media series, and explained tips such as the importance of choice, voice, creation, multi modalities, collaboration, accessibility, crowd-accelerated learning, social learning, and core competencies. We explained how to talk to parents about digital literacy and then explored the topic of sex education and how to use digital literacy as a helpful tool to teach it in a professional and healthy way. I’m really happy with how invested the class was with our presentation and I’m excited with what we discovered.
