“Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might

positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching, and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to

build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-public selves and becoming invested in and connected to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow,

Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)

Openness

Page 22: Why Social Networks Matter

“Open Education is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and

the Worldwide Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to

share, use, and reuse knowledge.”(William & Flora Hewlett Foundation)

Page 23: Why Social Networks Matter

Free/Open Content“describes any kind of creative work in a format that explicitly allows copying and

modifying of its information by anyone, not exclusively by a closed organization, firm, or

individual.” (Wikipedia)

myth of the digital native

Page 44: Why Social Networks Matter

Children and young people are described as ‘the collaboration generation’, eager to work together

towards common goals, share content and draw upon “the power of mass collaboration”. This combination of individualisation and collaboration is often presented

as giving young people a propensity to question, challenge and critique. These are individuals who “typically can’t imagine a life where citizens didn’t

have the tools to constantly think critically, exchange views, challenge, authenticate, verify, or debunk.

The Digital Native - Myth & Reality, Selwyn (2009)

Or This?

Page 48: Why Social Networks Matter

“... age is not a determining factor in students’ digital lives; rather, their familiarity and

experience using ICTs is more relevant.”

“... the notion of ‘digital natives’ is inaccurate: those with such attributes are effectively a

digital elite. Instead of a new net generation growing up to replace an older analogue generation, there is a deepening digital

divide ... characterized not by age but by access and opportunity.”

Page 49: Why Social Networks Matter

Postliterate are “those who can read who choose to meet their primary information and recreational needs through audio, video, graphics, and gaming. Print for

the postliterate is relegated to brief personal messages, short information needs, and other functional, highly

pragmatic uses such as instructions, signage, and time-management device entries - each often highly

supplemented by graphics. The postliterate’s need for extended works or larger amounts of information is met

through visual and/or auditory formats.

Libraries for a Postliterate Society, Johnson (2009)

Digital Fluency

Page 95: Why Social Networks Matter

Framework for Student Learning, Government of Alberta (2011)

Page 96: Why Social Networks Matter

“Technological fluency means much more than the ability to use technological tools;

that would be equivalent to understanding a few common phrases in a language. To become truly fluent in a language (like

English or French), one must be able to articulate a complex idea or tell an engaging story -- that is, to be able to make things of

significance with these tools. ”

The Computer Clubhouse: Technology Fluency in the Inner City, Resnick, Rusk, & Cooke (1998)

The Difference Between Digital Literacy & Digital Fluency, C. Briggs (2011)

Page 98: Why Social Networks Matter

The Difference Between Digital Literacy & Digital Fluency, C. Briggs (2011)

Page 99: Why Social Networks Matter

“... our ability to use digital technologies to have the intended positive effect on people & situations.”

The Difference Between Digital Literacy & Digital Fluency, C. Briggs (2011)

“... the more fluent a person is, the better they are able to predict the outcome of their actions.”
