LILAC 2018 Claire Sewell set up a padlet related to the presentation at LILAC 2018 on librarians' role in developing (in an academic context) scholarly communications literacy. The padlet sets up the questions "1. What does the term scholarly communication literacy mean to you? 2. What do librarians want/need to know about this landscape? How can we help you get the knowledge to do you jobs? 3. How can we do this? What format would you want training to take? Do we need another framework? Is there a better way?". There are numerous responses already on the padlet. If you login in to Padlet (which, by the way, I find a useful tool in teaching in class and online) you can add your thoughts.

Literacy unlocks human potential and is the cornerstone of development. It leads to better health, better employment opportunities, and safer and more stable societies. Just by ensuring children know how to read by the time they’ve left primary school, 171 million young people could be lifted out of poverty. Via Nik Peachey

Both the 21st-century economy and the careers needed to fuel it are changing at an unprecedented rate. Students must be prepared for nonlinear careers, pivoting to match the ever-changing work landscape. We thus need to rethink not just how we teach our students but what we teach our students.

Many teachers have added ‘digital literacy’ as number four on the list of literacies their students should have (or be working towards, in most cases). Reading, writing, and math are now followed by digital literacy. Via Fiona Harvey

The scheme has been approved by the National Foundation for Education Research (NfER) and Oxford University Press have now aligned their reading levels to this criterion scheme. Also (did we mention?) the scale is free to download as a PDF along with a teachers guide (see links below), which gives a clear and concise introduction to Big Reading and the key strategies used.

To improve students' reading comprehension, teachers should introduce the seven cognitive strategies of effective readers: activating, inferring, monitoring-clarifying, questioning, searching-selecting, summarizing, and visualizing-organizing. This article includes definitions of the seven strategies and a lesson-plan template for teaching each one.

I’m going to confess, I did not bring podcasts into my English classroom with any intention of improving my students’ literacy skills. The idea came from a more selfish place: My wife and I were enthralled by the first few episodes of Serial, and I wanted to share our excitement for the amazing story with my students. Like almost everybody, they were hooked by the pilot episode and begged me for more.

In one of my older posts “Are Digital Natives Digitally Literate?“, I questioned the assumption that all “digital natives” are by definition tech savvy. As I reflected on the term, as well as my experience in teaching digital natives, I came to a conclusion that it is not about being a “digital native” at all (i.e., being born past a certain year and having exposure to a device from birth). Just as it is with being a native speaker of a language, being simply born into a society and having exposure to the language does not mean one won’t have to learn how to be literate in that language. Finally, my conclusion that the key is not being “native” but being “literate” pushed me to think further and search for types of literacies we (both natives and immigrants) have to develop to successfully function in the digital era.

Innovative design crosses over all aspects of education. The American Society for Innovation Design in Education, or ASIDE, seeks to infuse curriculum with new approaches to teaching and thinking. Integrating the design of information into the daily conversation is an essential part of the teacher's toolkit and the purpose of the ASIDE blog. The underpinning of innovation and educational design is based on looking at the information available and communicating meaning for a world of learners. Thinking like a designer can transform the way children learn. ASIDE's goal is to bring together as much information, resources and supportive scholarship in one place for teaching and learning.
