This week we explored what digital literacy is. The digital literacy framework explores six different characteristics that have been identified by B.C educational leaders.
The Ministry’s characteristics are:
- Research and Information Literacy: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information
- Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making: Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources
- Creativity and Innovation: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology
- Digital Citizenship: Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior
- Communication and Collaboration: Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others
- Technology Operations and Concepts: Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations.
