Hello! «Я -- Людмила из России.» (I am Lyudmila from Russia). In the final project O would like to describe, how I can support digital literacy of students in Russia. I see the necessity to emphasize the importance of free Internet services and resources.
Sample products made within the course, will be marked by the special label and I will use Russian flag icon for marking the resources in the Russian segment of Internet.
In the presentation I appeal only to those resources, that I'm familiar with and already use in my practices.
The definition of digital literacy includes 6 components. Let us examine all of them and name the corresponding net instruments.
In order to access information safely, it's better to create for students custom search engines -- you see my sample. That may be done in Google and Flexum systems.
Video lessons are of great demand now and the most popular video hosting are listed here. Some skills -- how to use video effectively should be formed in the students.
In order to access information legally and safely everyone should be aware of copyright and Internet safety issues. I should stress, that fair use rules in different countries are different.
Manage information -- that means organize information with such powerful services as mind maps, online calendars and sharing data in the cloud.
We can integrate various types of data in one product, such as timeline, interactive poster, infographics. Within the course we fulfilled the assignments on Google maps and Google Earth
and you can see my example of Google map, where are image, text, hyperlinks, icons, polygon integrated.
Teach evaluating information is of great importance and it also develops critical thinking. In my dissertation research I propose methodics for evaluating Russian Internet resources reliability.
Enormous possibilities exist for creating information. And within our course we made a lot of products and may teach students now how to do that.
You see screenshots of my assignments.
It's also important to communicate information in online and offline formats. We need to pay special attention to social nets and learn, research -- how to deal with them, because students area already there.
I'd like to add to 6 components collaboration, because special instruments were invented, such as wikis, which are very popular in education and Google disc -- this instrument has no analogs for joint online editing of documents.
Also very useful tools may help in managing learning: in providing quizzes, exercises, webinars. I use Adobe Connect and Mirapolis software for webinars. Learning Management Systems are powerful systems, that allow educators from all over the world study together. Thanks to Canvas, thanks to Digital Literacy II course for that opportunity!
