Keeping up e-ppearances: How to bury your digital dirt - tech - 23 February 2011. What is Digital Literacy? « Andrew Eynon’s Library Blog. Posted by andrewey on February 18, 2011 For our PEDL project we have used the term Digital Literacy to represent a broad range of skills – specifically basic ICT skills, information skills and e-safety. This offers a potentially broader remit than Information Literacy.
Furthermore, Digital Literacy is probably a more widely understood term outside the library community (particularly with the link to Digital Inclusion). With regard to basic ICT skills we are focussing on the skills needed to make the most effective of the college ICT network (eg e-mail, file handling, basic applications software) and our Moodle VLE. The Information skills strand will cover making effective use of internet searching, accessing e-resouces and referencing/plagiarism. We will also have a cross cutting strand on the use of Web 2.0 tools in a teaching and learning context.

Presentation: Social Media & how (students) can survive online. I’ve been lucky enough so far this term to be involved with two sets of students, both under-graduate first years (one unit called ‘Professional Studies’ even), and with both sets I have been surprised and slightly worried about the level of understanding they have about their use of Social Media, and how the little things can make a difference.
What surprised me, from a couple of informal questions to a few vocal and enthusiastic Facebook users, is that they have never considered what is viewable online, their ‘digital foot print’. So, I asked around about what we do for the students to alert them to the risks, and how this could potentially affect their future employment prospects.
