By the time I see my students in 7th and 8th grade, they've had diverse experiences using technology in and out of school. As with any other content, some students are highly literate and others not so much. That being said, digital literacy seems to be such a moving target it's been hard to identify exactly what to teach my students to help them be responsible and respectful. I'm glad to be combing through resources such as the ISTE Standards, the SITE Model, and blogs where teachers share their own insights.
At this point of the school year, I just keep playing with ideas... with using technology even more than before and differently than before to support student learning. I am exploring what my students need, what they are interested in and what will catch their attention. I love this exploration and am beginning to plan for how I'll begin teaching digital literacy with a more structured approach in the next school year. In the meantime, I'll just keep throwing ideas out at my students, individually and in small groups, to see what makes the most sense to them at this time.
