Digital+Literacy

 **From ICTPD Online Newsletter FutureLab - Digital participation, digital literacy, and school subjects**

This is a very comprehensive, easy to read, 30 page literature review which unpacks research around what digital literacy and digital participation means in the classroom. //"It highlights the fact that there is extensive theory, conceptual development and policy on digital literacy and digital participation, yet little evidence about how this can be translated into practice."// (p3)[]

The review offers some correlation between the key concepts and possible strategies for teachers to use in their classroom practice to help promote digital literacy and participation.

Quotes such as the following, make for some compelling reading. //"The challenge is, then, to find ways of adapting and modifying the curriculum and teaching practice to meet learners’ emerging needs in the emerging digital media context, rather than just to integrate new technology and media into the existing curriculum in order to ensure relevance or boost standards."// (p5)[]
