Continuing with Digital Literacy & ICT

After a group discussion on digital literacy and ICT I can tell that we are all on the same page. We all defined digital literacy as a skill and ICT as a mechanism for developing and increasing digital literacy in our classrooms. My group members were diligent in expanding our discussion of digital literacy as a underlying factor within the NCSCOS. We all agreed that these digital literacy skills and information communication technologies span the curriculum. Kevin and Vanessa even discussed the importance of digital literacy for EC students. Vanessa stated that her students enjoy PowerPoints as a way to share their thoughts and ideas. Because I teach mostly honors students, I do not automatically think about EC students in our discussion board posts. I appreciate my group members providing insight on this topic.
