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.

Digital Native – Digital Immigrant – Digital Learning Quadrants

Digital Native – Digital Immigrant – Digital Learning Quadrants | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Have you heard the terms digital native and digital immigrant, and placed yourself in one space or the other? Have you seen a generation divide in learning and teaching? The article ‘The Fallacy of Digital Natives’ explores these issues. One source quoted is the Berkman Center for Internet and Society (Harvard University) “Those who were not ‘born digital’ can be just as connected , if not more so, than their younger counterparts.”
A follow-up to this article is ‘Introducing the Digital Learning Quadrants’ where Dan Pontefract introduces “a classification that encompasses all ages and takes into account the realities of access and participation levels…”  (at http://www.danpontefract.com/?p=1309)

Both articles are worth checking out.
