Digital Literacy

How can we understand these concepts?Information LiteracyMedia LiteracyMedia Education

How can we make sense of these concepts?Can you find any caracteristic that shows the diferrences between them6

The school and the family share the responsibility of preparing the young person for living in a world of powerful images, words and sounds. (UNESCO, 1982)UNESCOGrunwald Declaration on Media Education1982 EUA European approach to media literacy in the digital environment2007Media literacy is defined as the ability to access, understand, critically evaluate and create media content. (A European approach to media literacy in the digital environment [COM(2007) 833)

Its not as simple as that7

Its not all about technical skills.

Communication

InformationLearning

The relation with information is essential in digital literacy. This complexSearching: students should know different sources of information (scientific platforms; a job website) CreatingOrganizingUsing ethically Sharing (ethically and safely)Filing / collecting (great amounts of data)CuratingLabelingUsing for research purposes, as well as for personal uses, such as traveling Creating and managing communities connected by a specific interestCreating messages with impactDisseminating (artistic content; political messages)Presenting

This is essential. So congratulations for having this position. I think it is really innovative and strategic.

2From theory to practice

Challenge

How would you define Digital Literacy?How to implement some activities?

Do you consider you re implmenting13

Are you implementing any activities on Digital Literacy?

We should ask ouserlves where does it come from, this need of mappingObviously it is part of any research, but I can show that even though after more than 30 years after the unesco declarition we still dont have the field well definied.Probable its because we have been facing so many and fast changes in the the media ladscape.BTW, I undestrandn that we need maps but I rely enjoy to get lost and find new places and make the connections and bridges by my ownOn the other sie, we shouldnt trust maps because sometimes they dont consider all the details

Destaco s que bom ter mapas mas talvez nem sempre esses mapas sero o espelho fiel ou fivel do terrenoPessoalmente A importncia de se perder para descobrir novos lugares, eventualmente escondidos (fazer ligacoes entre pontos sem ser de metro)

Digital Participants

The new forms of writing should also become the "requirement of every person" (Cantoni & Tardini, 2008: 30), because following the metaphor of writing using digital media is similar to someone who can read but cannot write.

Conclusionslost in the concepts?

Building a consensus on language

More than nomenclatures, is what they enunciate and what they value

Using theoretical approach to make things happen

In this discussion, it is important not to lose sight of the essential, that is to build a consensus on language that will further develop the area, because ultimately "more than nomenclatures, is what they enunciate and what they value" (Pinto et al, 2011: 20). And there is another important point: how can we build on this theoretical approach, practical initiatives able to develop digital skills? This is the reason underneath the initiative that is the focus of this chapter.So this Cratography should be an issue this is my pragmatic approach.
