NORTHSTAR DIGITAL LITERACY
ASSESSMENT

INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY
How do you include technology in your
practice?
▪ Find a tool and figure out how to use
it with your students/staff
▪ Think about what you already do with
your students/staff and then how
technology could deepen or expand
on the lesson (POST)
▪ Think of a challenging task and how
technology might help
11

POST Method
▪ P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience.
Know what scaffolding they’ll need.
▪ O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective
before you decide on a technology. Then figure out
how you will measure it.
▪ S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after
you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things
be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and
you'll know where to begin.
▪ T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a
hundred blogs. Once you know your people,
objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with
confidence.The POST Method: A systematic approach to social strategy by Josh Bernoff 12

DIGITAL LITERACY: EMAIL
All students should have a “professional” email address. Gmail is
recommended
Email lesson ideas
Students email each other periodically
Practice sending different kinds of emails: a copy to a friend, to
multiple friends, with an attachment
Teach Netiquette and some of the language of
email/text: LOL, IMHO, etc
Teach some of the basics like cleaning your mailbox, setting up
email filters and folders
Set up a class email newsletter and send out important information18http://busyteacher.org/9194-esl-classroom-facebook-social-networks.html

DIGITAL LITERACY: WEBSITES AND BLOGS
Many instructors maintain a class website. Put students in
charge of this project. They can then set up their own profiles
on the site
Set up a class blog. Have students blog about a book you are
reading or other assignments. To keep the discussion going,
the teacher can periodically comment on the blog and require
students to also comment at certain intervals. The topic can
change according to what is happening in class and what
students are studying
