Definition of e-literacy(Martin, A. & Ashworth, S.; 2004)

Definitions of digital literacy are generally built on three principles:

■ the skills and knowledge to access and use a variety of digital media software applications and devices

■ the ability to critically understand digital media content and applications

■ the knowledge and capacity to create with digital technology.

Reading differences

3. pedagogical considerations

Homogeneity

Difference not acknowledged.

Learners grouped in one kind of educational institution are perceived to be similar and therefore get the same treatment.

Heterogeneity

Difference seen as a challenge to be

dealt with.

Learners are perceived to be different. Adjustments are made to come to terms with their needs.

Diversity

Difference seen as an asset and opportunity.

Learners are perceived to be different. Their difference serves as a resource for individual and mutual learning and development.

We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist,

using technologies that haven’t been invented,

in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.

Connectivism is the theory that knowledge is now distributed through a network of connections, and therefore that knowledge lies in the hability to built and navigate within those networks.
