Literacy Journal: 8 Myths About Digital Learning

Literacy Journal: 8 Myths About Digital Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

This is the fourth of what will be eight posts that looks at myths about digital learning. The first three are:

Myth #1: Students and teachers can find everything they want online

Myth #2: Digital learning in non-linear

Myth #3: The digital classroom is a playground

Myth # 4 looks at"Digital learning in interactive." She begins this post with the statements 'Learning has become more and more interactive with an increased dose of engagement, no wonder we are teaching with the thing students love the most: technology.' (A quote that comes from Educational Technology and Mobile Learning.)

She states that this is a myth, comparing it to the concept of a digital native and suggests that "interactive (is) probably the most over-used work in learning today."
A definition is provided as well as examples of interactive learning, examples of mythical interactivity, a discussion on apps and quite a bit more. This post will make you think about some of what may be "accepted" potentially making you shift some of your perceptions. I suggest taking the time to read the first three posts.
