Description
Join nine organizations in learning how to integrate digital literacy from local and national experts. The kickoff day provides inspiration and definition, with a taste of exceptional on-demand content. Each presenter will provide a task, challenge, or idea to you. Then you will continue to learn through self-paced content over the next three weeks to dive deeper, curate, and create while networking and participating in an ongoing Twitter “slow chat.” The culminating day will conclude with more inspiration, including the sharing of artifacts, ideas, resources, and curriculum connections to use tomorrow. The curated list of resources will be shared live after the event. Participants will have access to all of the content through April 19, 2021.
Objectives and Goals:
- Understand what digital literacy is and how to teach it
- Develop a personal connection to a digital literacy network of educators
- Create implementation strategies for integrating digital literacy
- Share an artifact or idea that students could use tomorrow
