PLAY! New Media Literacies - PLAY! Framework
The white paper Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century (Jenkins et al., 2006) identifies the kinds of participatory practices youth are engaged in today, and draws up a provisionary list of the skills these practices demonstrate. In the video below, members of the NML team share their thoughts and perspectives on the skills we call the new media literacies. One of our key goals is to stop focusing quite so much on "do kids have computers in their classroom?" and start focusing more on "do kids have the basic social skills and cultural competencies so that when they do get computers in their classroom, they can participate fully?" Many educators assume that (1) students can only begin learning the skills they need to use technology if they actually have the technology in their classroom, and (2) that putting technology in the classroom is a quick fix that will solve any classroom's problems.
A reasonable objection to transliteracy « Libraries and Transliteracy
‘Transliteracy.’ Is it a bold new concept or the current enfant terrible of librarianship? It’s no secret that transliteracy has a polarizing effect, with the past year’s worth of commentary ranging from uncritical acceptance to critical analysis to dogmatic skepticism, and everywhere between. Obviously, this blog leans towards a more positive approach to transliteracy, But, what of the objections to the concept? Are there substantive concerns that we should be addressing, or is it all just snark? Given the novelty of the term, the enthusiasm of early-adopters, and the “almost-but-not-quite” similarity of transliteracy to other “literacies”, it’s only natural for librarians to be skeptical.What the New DigitalLiteracy.gov Portal Has to Offer Educators | Spotlight on Digital Media and Learning
5.19.11 | The U.S. government launched a new website last week— DigitalLiteracy.gov —to give libraries, community colleges, schools and workforce training centers tools to teach computer and digital literacy skills. I spent some time on the site this week and found everything from tutorials on basic web skills, such as how to set up a Gmail account , to resources on resume building and lesson plans on understanding copyright . In the section “ Find Educator Tools ,” you can search by digital literacy skill, subject area or keyword. Searching by “content evaluation” turned up a list of almost 30 resources from governments and nonprofit sources. You can also browse by age group and format, such as “lesson plans and curricula.”
JISC invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects to support the development and implementation of institutional approaches to digital literacies across the entire workforce and including students. A briefing event was held online via Elluminate at 10 am on the 12 th May 2011. A link to the recording of this session can be found below and a copy of the presentation used during the event is also available. Recording of briefing session 1 – please note there were technical difficulties at the start of this session so please start the recording approximately 10 minutes into the session

Emma Coonan and Jane Secker Information literacy is widely recognised as a key part of lifelong independent learning. It has been defined as "... knowing when and why you need information, where to find it, and how to evaluate, use and communicate it in an ethical manner." ( CILIP, 2004 ) Meanwhile UNESCO take a broader view that goes beyond learning, stating that:Study of how UK FE and HE institutions are supporting effective learners in a digital age (SLiDA) : JISC

The information literacy and technology targets in the standards of the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) parallel the information literacy standards developed by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Academic librarians with their experience in technology and information literacy instruction are eager to assist as colleges of education achieve these NCATE standards. This article details examples of how teacher education departments have partnered with college and university librarians to produce teachers and university faculty that meet four of the six NCATE information literacy and technology standards. Introduction
Partnering With Librarians to Meet Ncate Standards in Teacher Ed
Welcome to the LLiDA project , funded by the JISC . This was a short study (1st August 2008 - end May 2009) into learning literacies in UK HE and FE, which was defined as “the range of practices that underpin effective learning in a digital age”.

When Jakob Nielsen, a Web researcher, tested 232 people for how they read pages on screens, a curious disposition emerged. Dubbed by The New York Times "the guru of Web page 'usability,'" Nielsen has gauged user habits and screen experiences for years, charting people's online navigations and aims, using eye-tracking tools to map how vision moves and rests. In this study, he found that people took in hundreds of pages "in a pattern that's very

Learning Lives: Learning, Identity and Agency in the Life Course
Learning Lives was the first large-scale longitudinal study of its kind into the learning biographies of 150 adults aged between 25 and 65+. Through interviews, observation and documentation and by using a life-history approach the project traced and reconstructed the learning biographies of a wide range of different adults in different contexts and stages of their lives, both retrospectively and over a 30-month ‘real time’ period. The life-history study was complemented by a longitudinal survey study over the same period. The research focussed on the significance and impact of life course transitions upon learning, identity and agency. Key transitions include migration (travellers, international and intra-national migrants, asylum seekers), life, family and community transitions (individual, community and family support), age/stage transitions (careers guidance; adult education) and work transitions (redundancy; work based learning and trade union education).Developing digital literacies : JISC
Overview Many learners enter further and higher education lacking the skills needed to apply digital technologies to education. As 90% of new jobs will require excellent digital skills, improving digital literacy is an essential component of developing employable graduates.journal articles

Jackie Ashley: New technology may be changing the human brain |
Sometimes the House of Lords throws out speeches so interesting and radical, that you simply cannot imagine them being made in the Commons. One such came this week from the neuro-biologist Susan Greenfield. She asked a question that affects all of us, yet which I have never heard discussed by mainstream politicians: is technology changing our brains? The context is the clicking, bleeping, flashing world of screens. There has been a change in our environment that is so all-embracing and in a way so banal that we barely notice it.digital natives nonsense
