As adults we (hopefully) know that not everything online is true.
For our students though, this is a concept they need to learn. Students can use Google to quickly find millions of websites matching their search request, but are they able to determine which sites actually contain information that is accurate, unbiased, up to date, and written by someone with authority? One step in helping our students identify quality information online is to introduce them to the exact opposite… websites that pretend to be truthful but actually are full of intentionally incorrect information.
Such “fake” websites can be a great way to show students that just because something is online, does not mean it is true. What is digital fluency? Image by George Couros under CC A recent announcement from Hon. Hekia Parata signalled that digital fluency will be a key focus for Ministry centrally-funded professional learning support in 2016 (PLD Changes will lift student achievement, 23 Sept. 2015). The value of growing digitally fluent learners was signalled in the Ministry report, Future Focused Learning in Connected Communities (2014) which asked that “digital competencies be recognised as “essential foundation skills for success in 21st century society” and that they be supported by “cross-curriculum resources, a responsive assessment framework, professional development and a programme of evaluation.”
‘Digital fluency’, as a phrase, does not occur specifically in the our various curricula (NZC, Te Marautanga, Te Whāriki) or in other oft-used touchstones for learning with digital technologies.

Knowing the Difference Between Digital Skills and Digital Literacies, and Teaching Both. Digital Literacy is the Most Important Lifelong Learning Tool. With the increased importance of technology in society, digital literacy is gaining recognition as the most valuable tool for lifelong learning.
What does this mean? Essentially, as citizens of a global society, the influence of social media, technology, and online resources is massive.

What was once called typing class is now known as technology class.
Gone are the days where computer class was spent playing Oregon Trail and creating word processing documents. The networked world in which students exist demands an education that prepares students to produce and consume information in a variety of formats. These formats range from text to images to multimedia. Students need a broad variety of fluencies to be prepared for the 21st-century workforce. Even jobs traditionally thought of us being technology light now require someone who has basic computer skills. Perspectives of Digital Literacies. The Definition Of Digital Literacy. The Definition Of Digital Literacy by Terry Heick When we think of digital literacy, we usually think of research–finding, evaluating, and properly crediting digital sources.
The “research” connotation makes sense, as it is the sheer volume of sources and media forms on the “internet” that stand out. But we are living in a world where the internet is disappearing, replaced by sheer connectivity. Critical Thinking: The Key to Digital Literacy – Fishtree. How should we define digital literacy? Educational leader and PhD student, Lynnea West, explains her research on the principle ways of redefining education through technology, using digital literacy as a key driver: “I would hope that moving forward, we just call them ‘literacies’ and they’re just considered essential components of good literacy practices. We’re living in an online world and digital tools are our reality, so literacy in the broader context is just how we make meaning of what we’re reading or interpreting and how that joins together with our place in the world.”
The concept of digital literacy has been broken down in numerous attempts to define what constitutes a ‘digital native’ and what skills are central to our understanding and interpretation of digital content. Lynnea argues the key to fostering a digital mindset lies in the emphasis of critical thinking. Literacy in the Digital Age. I have identified thirteen literacies that our students need to become well-rounded 21st-century citizens.

Your students are probably Internet authorities.
When it comes to Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, they might know far more than you. All of that time spent tweeting and chatting doesn’t necessarily translate to deep learning though. As students progress through school, online research skills become more important — for good reason. Both college professors and employers will expect young people to know their way around the academic side of the Internet; a skill that for many students, needs to be taught. In a Pew survey, a majority of teachers said that their students lacked patience and determination when doing difficult research.

What to teach your preschooler about internet safety. Fifteen years ago, parents and caregivers did not have to worry about teaching pre-school aged children about internet safety. A new report prepared for the Children’s Commissioner of England suggests this time has passed. Children now live in a digital age, which means internet access is a daily part of life for many young children around the world. Touchscreen technologies have changed how accessible the internet is for very young children, particularly between the ages of four and five. It’s now quicker and easier to connect to the internet using these technologies, as they don’t require the same level of fine motor and literacy skills used to navigate a mouse and keyboard.
More recently, the Internet of Things has become widespread. Sustaining Digital Literacy - Genius Hour. Untitled. Teach Students about Online Safety with These Excellent Video Tutorials from Google.

Combined with traditional skills, this social and emotional proficiency will equip students to succeed in the evolving digital economy. 14 Digital Literacy Activities. Image 1. Las habilidades digitales que nuestros niños deberían aprender. Hace una generación, la tecnología de la información y los medios digitales eran habilidades exclusivas. Hoy, son una competencia clave necesaria para tener éxito en la mayoría de las profesiones. Es por ello que las habilidades digitales forman parte fundamental de un marco de trabajo educativo integral. Sin un programa de educación digital nacional, el dominio y el acceso a la tecnología se distribuirán de manera desigual, exacerbando la desigualdad e impidiendo la movilidad socioeconómica.
