Editor's Notes
- Intro – me, Vidéoscop, eLene How digitally literate I really am? Digital literacy = also information and media literacy. ‘ How do we deal with the sheer mass of information out there, not only for learning but in order to be true eCitizens’? Big thing in France over the weekend = single dose swine flu jab. Sceptical husband! (T)
- Googling news item => information sources I believe and trust. [Aside: OEB in 2007 Andrew Keen’s keynote!] Generation X - mainstream media – press, radio, TV… But also online!
- Even so, Times Online – criticising approach other journalists – what was the motivation behind this?
- Official agencies, surely there must be some truth to found here? European Medecines Agency - single dose vaccines… fake drugs; NHS website spoke of new strains of the virus. I began to feel a bit feverish so thought I’d better check my symptoms… (T) Looked around (scary!), found THIS self-diagnosis tool…
- Offered by a well known multinational! (click)
- Blogosphere, intriguing comment… (T) Husband, antivirus for new laptop….
- Paying versions always more visible! (T) After helping hubby, time to check my emails…
- Winning vast amounts of money in return for all my personal details, or serving as an intermediary for the transfer of even more vast amounts of money… but what about this? Babyboomer Husband: ‘What’s wrong with that one?’ Spelling mistakes, lack of accents in French, inconsistent size and position of otherwise official looking logos. => Digital literacy now takes more and more skill as these spams and hoaxes get ever more sophisticated. (T) After emails, quick run through my social networks…. Wondering about my digital identity…
- Small glimpse of what digital literacy challenges I personally face on a daily basis, other occurrences of online presence – tweets, discussion boards, websites…. (T) What do the experts say…
- 8 key competencies Recommendation of the European Parliament and Council (18 Dec 2006, key competencies for lifelong learning). “ Confident and critical use” – remember those…
- eLene-TT and eLene-TLC – notion of competence, socially situated rather than as skill, working definition for educational ICT competency framework (more later)
- E-inclusion initiative - i2010 programme - working paper + recommendations three stages of implementation Access to ICT, basic ICT skills increasing TRUST and CONFIDENCE. Do you start to a see a PATTERN here?
- Graph = no internet skills by socio-economic group two key messages: alarming statistics… secondary digital divides
- ICT cluster (representatives of member states such as ministry of education officials) E&T 2010 programme, Transformation Enabler Critical use of digital media, in particular for teacher training. (T) – reflects preoccupation in eLene-TT and eLene-TLC
- 9 HEIs in 8 member states As part of work ‘preparing HE for ne(x)t gen students => educational ICT competency framework.
- Going back to the notion of socially situated competency – framework classifying competencies in 3 teacher roles, working within wider domains management and technology. Validated by focus groups and online Delphi (76 experts, 34 institutions, 16 countries) then applied to teacher trainers, students and educational technologists.
- Students, study across 6 member states (NL, FR, DE, ES, IT, SE). Check the perceptions of students against what the literature says about them. Scope of study relatively small(<100 respondents) But reassuring to find that ‘quality of information’ = most important eLene-TLC - Developed self-assessment instrument for information literacy.
- Pattern emerges Priorities for the years to come = to develop critical thinking, trust, confidence and literacy (= media literacy / digital literacy / information literacy). Implications for developments in eGovernment, eHealth and Lifelong Learning, to be truly active and aware as E and as EU citizens.
