Welcome to Digital and Information literacy. This course will examine new and emerging technologies in social and digital media. Students will be introduced to current web 2.0 tools and application for learning and inquiry. The course will call upon students to think critically, question, and demonstrate what they have learned using social and digital media applications. Students will learn to leverage connected learning and sharing through responsible use of social media. By the end of this course, students will be able to answer and defend the questions: Why should we care about social media? How is it changing the way individuals and organizations communicate? Where should we begin?
Please follow along with our class blog roll on the left and post comments when you can for students. I encourage you to comment on their content and their writing mechanics. The goal is to teach them how to write for a broad, authentic audience as well as craft a message that is appropriate and well written. Thank you for your time on our blog and please stay tuned as we progress through this course.
