Information about the PriDE project
As the digital society evolves and becomes increasingly more complex, it is critical that higher education institutions understand how they can equip their staff and students with appropriate skills, tools and the language to articulate digital literacies. This will ensure they are able to transfer their digital skills across a full range of life contexts.

Although numerous models exist to support the development of information literacy skills, most were designed to support 20th-century technologies and pedagogies. It is widely accepted that information literacy models needs to adapt and develop in response to changes in both technology and pedagogy, but the nature of this development is, as yet, uncertain. iTEC (Innovative Technologies for Engaging Classrooms) is a major EU-funded project attempting to bring about transformation in learning and teaching through the strategic application of learning technology. In this article, findings from the evaluation of iTEC are used to consider how effectively information literacy models which are currently available can support emerging technologically-engaged pedagogies. These findings suggest that an information literacy model for the 21st century needs to be flexible, suited to collaborative work and most importantly acknowledge and support students as creators of knowledge, not simply consumers.

When Brian Solis published his latest post “Hello, It’s nice to meet you … again: your Digital Reputation precedes you” I immediately thought of a recent experience where digital reputations did proceed people, although not in a way which gave me faith in listening to their advice. To me this underlines the very point that Brian is making, and while we know that digital reputation does matter perhaps it's time for us in the industry itself to take it more seriously and to show it a bit more respect. We see advisors with no digital reputation advising executives on their social media presence and strategy. And not only advising executives but being promoted as speakers at social media conferences as experts on social media! It's time to expose the elephant in the room and to take a stand. Otherwise we risk making a mockery of our own expertise and experience.

We are becoming increasingly aware of the need to analyze the enormous amount of information we receive every day. This information helps us in our cognitive development and participates in the construction of our patterns of perception of reality. In the case of children and young people, these patterns are in continual development.

In the social media and network integration literacy not only gives people a platform to come into contact, share desired knowledge but also help them do business promotion and transactions. The idea is very frequently being adopted by the young generation by connecting via social media, e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

5 Reasons You Should Be Teaching Digital Citizenship
Students buzzed about the latest uproar on Instagram. Anonymous sources had posted a “questionable”–and NSFW–list for multiple public schools in our city on Instagram, leading to distraught girls, viral Twitter reactions, and an investigation [http://insiderlouisville.com/news/2014/01/16/jcps-officials-investigating-posting-inappropriate-photos-students-instagram/ ]. This type of cyberbullying and reckless use of digital communication is rampant among teens, but this recent episode was only unusually due to its elevated publicity.

What The Data Says About Students’ 21st Century Readiness 21st century skills is a term that’s been bandied about for over a decade now. Loosely, it refers to the creative and technology-based skills students are increasingly required to demonstrate to use information in the real world. While there’s plenty of tools, leadership, strategies, and even rhetoric surrounding this discussion, what’s there’s less of is data. The following infographic from learning.com/21cs helps soften that reality a bit by graphically displaying the data from over 500,000 elementary and middle school assessments framed around ISTE’s technology standards.

At Google we believe in the power of education and the promise of technology to improve the lives of students and educators -- leading the way for a new generation of learning in the classroom and beyond. But no matter what subject you teach, it is important for your students to know how to think critically and evaluate online sources, understand how to protect themselves from online threats from bullies to scammers, and to think before they share and be good digital citizens.
