Educators, are you ready to begin your new quest? Join us for an eight-week asynchronous challenge to expand your digital literacy toolkit. During this series, you will learn about the eight competencies outlined in the B.C. Digital Literacy Framework, strategies for incorporating these skills into your teaching practice, and how to support student success through digital literacy.
You will receive one challenge in your inbox each Monday morning over the course of eight weeks. Each challenge will address the following:
What: a definition of the digital literacy competency
Why: the importance of each competency in teaching practice
How: approaches for developing the competency in our own learning, and how to incorporate these skills in our teaching practice
Interactive activities and thoughtful prompts will help you learn how to incorporate digital literacy into your teaching practice and generate ideas on how to teach these skills to students.
Each weekly challenge should take between one to four hours to complete, depending on how deeply you want to explore. There will be four optional, synchronous drop-in sessions held over Zoom where you can ask questions and connect with peers in a casual setting.
The synchronous sessions will be held at the following times:
- July 17, 2024 from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
- July 31, 2024 from 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
