Digital literacies

During this unit we will explore together important literacies to survive and thrive in the digital age as learners and educators. Accessing, filtering, critically evaluating information in vast networks, repositories and digital libraries as well as connecting with individuals and groups via social networks and make use for learning and teaching is a complex process and requires specific skills, attitudes and behaviours which become increasingly more important for individuals and society. We will also investigate the transition from digital consumer of information to producer and co-creator and contributor of new information, knowledge co-construction in the digital world and reflect on our digital presence and identity, experiences through consumption, communication, collaboration and creation, as learners and educators.

(Where) do your students fit in?

How much is our digital literacies

determined by our social,

economical and cultural background?

“To possess the machines,

[they] only need economic

capital; to appropriate them

and use them in

accordance with their

specific purpose [they]

must have access to

embodied cultural capital,

either in person or by

proxy”

Pierre

Bourdieu

What role should the institution

have in cultivating cultural

capital in a world mediated by

technology?
