What are teachers for in the Information Society? A teacher who could be replaced by a machine should be! Arthur C Clarke
Technology does not change practice. Teachers change practice as their knowledge, understanding, skills, beliefs and goals change.
Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize,understand, evaluate, and createinformation using digital technology.
Becoming digitally literate requires that the learner: • knows how to use digital tools • is critical of how and when to use them • is aware of the risks of working online • Is prepared to share ideas.
