The ABCs of Digital & Media Literacy:
Practical Strategies for Intentional Technology Use in Early Childhood Education
When it comes to traditional literacy, we talk about creating print rich environments. But when it comes to media other than books, often the strategy is to keep children away from technology and still expect that they will become productive and literate digital citizens. This session explores how to reconcile that contradiction with developmentally appropriate strategies that encourage emergent media literacy.
When Questions Are the Answer: Teaching in a Multimedia World
New technologies continue to demand new responses to the question, “How do we help prepare children to thrive in the world they will actually live in?” Digital media literacy provides concrete – and some surprisingly easy-to-implement – answers. This workshop will provide ideas for integrating digital media literacy into standards-based lessons across the K-12 curriculum, including how to improve student engagement with visual literacy, inquiry-based teaching methods, and an emphasis on evaluation of information sources.
The Case for Digital and Media Literacy: Taking Technology Integration to the Next Level
Like pencils, digital technologies are tools. And like pencils, knowing how to use digital devices is part of being literate, but it isn’t enough. In the digital world, where technology provides easy access to nearly unlimited information and resources, we need to expand the traditional “three Rs” to include reasoning and reflection. And we need to do so in ways that foster curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. That’s what media literacy education does when we integrate it along with new technologies. This session explains how to integrate technology with intention and skill, and why it’s important to do so.
Add Inquiry and Stir: Teaching Critical Thinking in a Multimedia World
Using a curriculum-driven, inquiry-based approach that builds on children’s natural curiosity, we’ll look at ways to integrate digital and media literacy into existing curriculum and why it’s not just a question of adding apps or software. You’ll learn how to choose appropriate technology and effective educational media, and most importantly, how to design and implement your own inquiry-based media literacy lessons.
