Lesson 6: Developing Basic Digital Skills

           This lesson talks about developing basic digital skills with the integration of technology in education. We, digital learners, must acquire the 6 digital skills.

          Teacher adjust their teaching to effectively match the new digital world of information and communication. technology they must on what basic knowledge and values need to developed by digital learners. These basic literacy’s will not replace the 3 R’S; 

but they will be complemented by Six Essential Skills to equip students they call them literacy skills referred to fluency skills  these are:

1. SOLUTION FLUENCY – refer to capacity and creativity in problem solving .
2. INFORMATION FLUENCY – involves 3 submits skills which is ability to access, retrieve and reflect information.
3. COLLABORATION FLUENCY – refers to teamwork with virtual or real partners in online environment.
4. MEDIA FLUENCY – refers to channel of mass communication.

      HIGHER THINKING SKILLS

      Bloom’s Taxonomy serves as a general framework of skills that requires information processing, idea creation and real-world problem-solving skills. The following taxonomy may be proposed:

1. Remembering-recall information
2. Understanding-explain ideas
3. Applying-use information in a new way
4. Analyzing-distinguish different parts
5. Evaluating-justify stand or position
6. Creating-new product/point of view

      

      The structured problem solving-process known as 4D’s also exemplifies the instructional shift in digital learning:

ü  Define the problem

ü  Do the work

ü  Debrief on the outcome

      

     

     

                                                                                                                                               










 

      We can apply this topic in future teaching since our students are digital learner and a visual learner they can understand things through visual presentations not just a picture but more on video’s shown to them. Some of the student are already expose to computer they might be more knowledgeable than you but at least you may not be left behind you’re not going to compete with your student but you should be within their leanings and with their interest also.
