Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

If you’re an educator of any level, you know the importance of maintaining a great personal learning network, a lifeline in the digital age. It doesn’t matter if you’re a teacher, administrator, or any other form of educator—a personal learning network sustains and nurtures you in many ways.

I was once at a conference where a delegate started chatting to me about iPads in schools. He’d been in charge of the rollout of more than 500 tablets to staff and students in his school and I sensed frustration and a little dejection when he described what obviously had turned into a head-aching predicament. I won’t bore you with his story, but essentially he had ordered a load of tablets and assumed that everything else would be all right.
