Language Teaching/learning
Digital Literacy
Being literate as means of being able to use technological tools, participate in technological and digital spaces.
Technology
Acting critically, knowlingly in the digital sphere.
Knowing how technology affects the world around us.
Analytical and evaluative lenses to look into information available online.
Any tool used to facilitate human labours.
Could be a computer, smartphone or a whiteboard...more remotely and not less important, tools to make fire and/or forge items.
Present in our daily lives since the invention of igno-movable societies (AKA when primitive societies forged the first techonlogical tools to produce fire and society evolved around it).
When it comes to using technological tools in the classroom it is important not only to use but to teach the implications of such tools;
Facilitation of language learning skills by a broader range of tools to be used so as to provide more affordances for students to act using language.
Incorporation of tools and the improvement of teaching techniques.
Approaches our daily needs and gives us power to do what our body cannot by its bio-condition. An extension of human needs and desires.
Critically using techonological devises. Understanding the implications of the digital sphere in the modern world.
Motivational tools that can be used to improve language teaching process
Adhering to digital literacy and language capacities and enable students to understand and act as curators towards digital skills and language acquisition.
In other words...
Focusing on the development of children’s digital literacy
therefore means that teachers are seeking to make more
overt the ways in which technologies and media transform
learners’ engagement with subject content.
