Developing Digital Literacies:
Mapping of online engagement
and reflection on practice
2. encouraged educators to expect that their
students of the ‘native’ generation were ‘highly
adept with technology’,
it made them feel that they would always be
‘one-step-behind’ their native students.
Natives and Immigrants (Prensky,2004)
(Bennet et al, 2008).
3. WEB
Everything was happy on the plains until Buffalo Bill Gates
Wild Web show arrived
The Immigrants were welcomed by the Native Indians
But then they became Resident Cowboys
Soon prospectors arrived looking for gold in them thar hills!
The 1st generation (Lycos, Netscape, Askjeeves, altavista)
followed by a 2nd generation (Google+, Ping, Friendster)
Many were lost along the way…… but a few survived and
got rich! (Facebook, Google)
The problem for anyone visiting or resident within the wild
web is there are no laws only a Code.

The Visitors & Residents Paradigm

10. Is this a problem?
Most students felt that they did not make the best
use of technology in either learning or promoting
their professional identity
Need support in developing their digital literacies
11. “The new literacies of the Internet and other ICTs include the
skills, strategies, and dispositions necessary to successfully
use and adapt to the rapidly changing information and
communication technologies and contexts that continuously
emerge in our world and influence all areas of our personal
and professional lives.
These new literacies allow us to use the Internet and other
ICTs to identify important questions, locate information,
critically evaluate the usefulness of that information,
synthesize information to answer those questions, and then
communicate the answers to others.” (p1572).
Leu et al (2004)
13. A Visitor or a Resident?

“And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without
pictures or conversation?
14. “practice perspective” Dohn (2009)
“employing a Web 2.0 technology
does not necessarily entail
pedagogically innovative Web 2.0
practices “ Tambouris (2012)
15. Digital literacies: the use of digital tools to:
undertake academic research, writing and critical thinking;
digital professionalism;
the use of specialist digital tools and data sets;
communicating ideas effectively in a range of media;
producing, sharing and critically evaluating information;
collaborating in virtual networks;
using digital technologies to support reflection and PDP;
managing digital reputation and showcasing
achievements.'
