Many programs and students don’t yet have a good sense of all the technology skills that are coming into play in the workplaces students plan to enter. The ways we live, learn, work and interact online are changing. Do your students have the skills necessary for successful navigation of the increasingly blurred boundaries between online and offline social and professional activities. Do they know the risks and how to protect themselves when using these tools? This is the first of a two part workshop series.

6. We all have that friend who refuses to
join Facebook and only communicates

In other words, he basically doesn't
exist
Email use is way down among teens,
and though Twitter is partially to blame,
Facebook's ubiquity is a major factor.

technology skills that are support of learning. They lack critical
coming into play in the media and information literacies, and
workplaces students plan struggle to translate the capabilities
to enter they do have into different contexts.
―The internet is a go-to source. In general, more people turn to
the internet (at home, work, libraries or other places) than any
other source of information and support, including experts and
family members. There was some variance in the results,
depending on the type of problem people faced. Experts
mattered most when people faced health problems;
government agencies topped the list when information about
specific programs was the concern‖

students need and use is
digital: and more is found
online and/or in digital form
and accessed through our

Chapman, 2005, p.iii).

11. Digital literacy is becoming a
requirement for virtually every
measurable outcome that an
adult learner might possibly set
for themselves
Many schools have renamed their
libraries Media Centers, and the
people who help students access their
resources need to be as tech-savvy
as any IT person.

12. ―Pew Research finds that about one fifth of people in the US lack the fundamental digital
literacy skills they need to participate fully in the information economy
That represents a major loss in productivity and economic potential, not to mention the
toll on individuals and families who are falling behind the digital literacy curve
A great many of those other four fifths are not doing so hot with digital literacy either‖

16. Courses that embed core
digital skills, as well as
subject specific use of
technology, enable students
"Many learners enter further to gain the skills and
and higher education lacking confidence they need to use
the skills needed to apply digital technology not only to
digital technologies to support their learning but also
education in the workplace."
90% of new jobs will require
excellent digital skills,
improving digital literacy is an
essential component of
developing employable
graduates.

17. Developing digital literacy skills
are key to empowering
students and staff with the skills
and confidence they need to
use technology both
autonomously and
collaboratively, not only to
support their learning but also
in the workplace and their daily
lives.

20. In 2010 the U.S. Department of Education introduced
the National Education Technology Plan
―Calls for applying the advanced tech used in our daily
personal and professional lives to our entire education
system to improve student learning and accelerate
and scale up the adoption of effective practices."
The National Education Technology Plan's rationale is
specific when explaining the reason technology must
be integrated into today's education

21. Technology will help us
execute collaborative
teaching strategies
combined with
professional learning
that better prepare and
enhance educators'
competencies and
expertise over the
course of their careers

22. The ways we live, learn, work and interact
online are changing
Do your students have the skills necessary
for successful navigation of the increasingly
blurred boundaries between online and
offline social and professional activities

24. Hughey and Hughey (2006) note that ―the development
of an academic and career plan that effectively
prepares students for their future is an important task
for advisors‖
… many people are pre-occupationally illiterate,
meaning that they have knowledge of only a small
percentage of the existing occupations in the current job
market
Most do not even really know or understand the work
requirements and responsibilities of the occupations
that they are able to name
Academic advisers may end up serving a valuable role
in educating and advising adult students on major and
career options and opportunities.

30. Finding a job now requires a knowledge of
computer and Internet skills including social media
Increasingly workers need to apply for jobs on-line
and those who don‘t understand how this whole
system works (not just how to type in the
information) are at a significant disadvantage

31. Some of the tools can be used for finding a job,
researching a job, saving job information, etc.
Others are to learn skills useful on the job; e.g.,
collaboration, communication, productivity
Job recruiters are already using social-networking
services like Facebook and LinkedIn to find and

64. With all the information and knowledge about social media at the beginning of
your career planning efforts, you can engage in a more strategic plan on how
to best go about creating, establishing, maintaining, and adapting your
personal brand
You can utilize social media for the simpler goal of collecting information and
insights for exploration and research purposes; for instance, to assist in the
decision making process for a particular college major and/or career path
Not having to actively job search frees you up from the usual challenges and
stresses of a job search effort
