Digital Badge C - Chapter 3

This week, I was introduced to some new concepts that I had never heard of, much less knew what they were. The first concept was digital literacy. The book defines digital literacy as "according to educators Aharon Aviram and Yoram Eshet-Alkalai (2010), is a multidimensional concept that involves a combination of technical, cognitive, and social skills." This concept is then broken down into photo-visual, reproduction, branching, information, and socio-emotional literacy (Maloy, Verock-O'Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf, 2013). Another concept that was new to me was media literacy. This to me is a concept that would be useful in high schools, due to the fact that it analyzes certain social medias. I do not know enough about either of these concepts, and I am eager to see if it comes again later in my major. The last concept that kind of ties all of these concepts together for me was internet literacy. The book defines internet literacy as the "skills and understandings needed to be an active user and evaluator of content found on the World Wide Web ((Maloy, Verock-O'Loughlin, Edwards, & Woolf,2013). I know that technology will be a huge part in myclassroom, and i hope that these concepts will be apart of my future. Literacy In Technology on PhotoPeach Literacy In Technology on PhotoPeach
