21 Century Digital Literacies
We are in a period where the cutting edge of change
has moved from the technology to the literacies
made possible by the technology - Howard
Rheingold, (2011), NetSmart
Educators need to be fluent with tools that
facilitate communication, collaboration any time
any where to create engaging learning space to
captivate our learners.
Curate - Critical literacies
Facilitate - Collaborate
Stimulate - Enagement

Major Challenges
• Application of new emerging technologies in
education
• Up-skilling teachers to apply technology in
education
• learners are placing greater value on
knowing where to find information rather
than on knowing the information
themselves.
• conceptual mismatch between pedagogical
practice and emerging technologies
