Week 4: Digital Literacy Frameworks

You previously watched a recording on Digital Literacy Frameworks that exist out there. I’m providing some additional links below – some required, some recommended, and some linked for reference purposes or interest only. When working on your inquiry assignment, make sure you pick a topic that links somehow to the BC Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework.

• Review different Digital Literacy Frameworks and assess yourself against the competencies
  • BC Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework (PDF) – REQUIRED READING
    • This is the one we are mostly gearing this course around
  • BC Digital Literacy Framework (K12) [PDF] – RECOMMENDED READING
  • International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students – RECOMMENDED READING
    • This is geared for K12 students, but check yourself against this list. They also provide standards for K12 educators, leaders, etc.
  • For reference:
  • CommonSense Media Digital Citizenship Curriculum (K12)
  • BC Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills Digital Learning Strategy
    • See the brief I sent to the BC Ministry of Advanced Ed in 2020 that resulted in this strategy and the literacy framework among other resources.
    • BC Digital Learning Strategy (PDF) – not a digital literacy framework but a digital learning plan for all post-secondary institutions in BC
  • European Framework for Digital Competence [PDF]
  • UNESCO Reimagining Our Futures Together: A New Social Contract for Education
• TASKS TO DO
  • Meet with your pod and set a weekly day/time to connect with them regarding this course
    • Your pod agenda:
      • Learn about each other’s learning goals for this course and support each other in the process
      • Review each other’s blog posts and provide feedback (verbally in your pod meet-ups or you can comment on their blog, but be mindful of their and your footprint when you do so)
      • Consider doing a “watch party” where you watch a recorded lecture from this course together in your own Zoom room. One learner can share their screen (choosing “options” and selecting “share sound”).
  • Make your first blog post for Assignment 2: Weekly Reflection
