Camp Hill School District: Planning for Digital Literacy

===="There is no way to discover what is 'more truly educational' except by the continuation of the educational act itself. The **discovery is never made, it always in the making**." John Dewey, 1928 ====

**Introduction**
The purpose of this Wiki is to foster a conversation about the **meaning, implementation, and impacts** of promoting digital literacy in the Camp Hill School District. This Wiki is open meaning please feel free to edit at will the pages and share resources that might be appropriate for our task. Simply click on the "edit" tab in the upper right hand corner of this page to add, change or upload any resources. When finished click on "save". If you want to add another page you will need my credentials: username: mark_ziegler, password: forester123.

If you want to post any thoughts about the literature we distributed on 11/17 please do so in the "discussion" area. If you don't have Wiki credentials you will have to create a username and password. This will take a minute or so.


 * In our presentation(s) to staff about this topic it might be helpful that we model what we mean**. To that end, this Wiki, constructed by this group, has the potential to showcase some of the traits of digital literacy: themes of collaboration, creation, and accountability to name a few. And finally, without sounding dramatic, this issue does constitute a cultural shift in how we think about, define, and support the experience of a Camp Hill education in the 21st Century. We have work to do.

The pages in the left hand column represent locations on the Wiki where we might keep things; minutes, useful resources, student / teacher examples, ...we can add more as we build.


 * The essential questions we are unpacking for this project based on the ISTE NETS (handout given at our first meeting)**

1. How do we promote a teaching /learning culture in which students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology?

2. How do we promote a teaching / learning culture learning in which students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others?

3. How do we promote a teaching / learning culture in which students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information?

4. How do we promote a teaching / learning culture in which students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources?

5. How do we promote a teaching / learning culture in which students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behaviors?

6. How do we promote a teaching / learning culture in which students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations?
