Digital Literacies
Is the wealth of information and tools available electronically expanding our ideas on what literacies are necessary for lifelong learning? What skills do educators need to arm themselves and their students with in order to find and make use of information using these tools?
edna Education Officer Belinda Spry has been leading workshop sessions around Australia on this topic and this episode is a recording of an online discussion with a passionate group of educators exploring these issues.
The slide show related to this workshop is available for download here in MS PowerPoint 1997-2003 format.
