This document discusses the history of literacy and technology from the 1970s to present day. It describes how technology has evolved from passive absorption of knowledge in the 1970s-1980s to more engaging learning strategies in the 1980s-1990s with the introduction of multimedia tools. In the 21st century, digital literacy involves integrating multimedia to develop critical thinking skills. The document also discusses digital literacy in the contexts of design education and higher education, noting both advantages like active engagement but also challenges like acquiring technical skills.

1. History of Literacy with Technology 1970 to the present
1970S - 1980s Absorption Theory transferring knowledge & information did not allow for student participation, problem solving, and working collaboratively passive learners
in 1980s New Learning Strategies ✖ Think-alouds ✖ Question and answer relationships ✖ Reciprocal teaching ✖ Peer tutoring ✖ Taught independently ✖ Little student engagement
1990s ★ enhance students’ understanding ★ make classrooms more interesting ★ support literacy ★ engage students with the real world ✖ Instructional reform ✖ New strategies ✖ Supporting students’ needs & abilities ✖ Integrating aid tools to:
1990s (continued) Teachers: ✖ Enhanced lessons ✖ Opened up professional discussions ✖ Made abstract or conceptual content more understandable Students: ✖ Able to access information ✖ Increased performance & motivation ✖ Engaged in class ✖ Internet services, multimedia tools, and advanced telecommunications ✖ Availability of various web-sources
21st century
✖ Digital Literacy = Integrating multimedia tools (visual displays, texts, motion graphics, video, audio, and multimodal forms) ✖ Develop students’ 21st century skills (critical thinking, problem solving, collaborative learning, and creative thinking) = to meet their future needs (Robin, 2005 & Jakes, 2006, Sadik, 2008) ✖ Use of multimedia increased 51% to 94% (U.S. National Center for Educational Statistics, 2009)
Elementary Settings: ✖ Establish foundational digital literacy skills ✖ Prepare for transition to next level ✖ Participate effectively in the curriculum ✖ Demonstrate achievement in content areas DL Goal = understand, organize, analyze, evaluate, communicate To achieve: ✖ Embed digital texts ✖ Use digital media
A digitally literate person will possess a range of digital skills, an ability to engage in online communities and social networks while adhering to behavioral protocols, be able to find, capture and evaluate information, an understanding of the societal issues raised by digital technologies and possess critical thinking skills. Digital literacy does not replace traditional forms of literacy. It builds upon the foundation of traditional forms of literacy. [1] Literacy refers to the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently, and think critically about the written word.
Dynamic Process Literacy used to be a singular directional methodology. Now, with technology affordances, it is a force that stimulates change.
New Literacies are Dynamic Visual New literacies are visual and can be a provocation for more learning or making more meaning. Culturally Relevant Material that is current, diverse and appropriate is more accessible than ever with technology. So are inappropriate materials making our critical thinking skills even more valuable. Close Reading Interactivity of a text, by annotations or quiz features make students truly examine text for meaning.
Literacy & Technology
Design education; teaching of theory and application in the design of product, services, and environments in the higher education. Apparel Design (Fashion Design/Clothing & Textiles) -Design (Including history & Aesthetics) -Construction (pattern making) -Retailing -Textiles Designers: expand their understanding of design process, alter methods for designing, generate new product Digital literacy (digital technology) in design education -key tool as communication and creative thinking Digital Literacy in Design education
Literacy & Technology
Pedagogical approach of digital literacy in design education
historical trends analysis of digital literacy in design education
digital literacy in design education_ADVANTAGES & CHALLENGES Advantages -Students’ active engagement in design -Expanded creative thinking with unlimited attempt in virtual reality -Potentiality of multidisciplinary project with TBL (team-based learning) and -Web-based learning based on the different learning styles Challenges -Takes long time to acquire technical skills -Chaos: juncture between art/humanities and science/engineering, or at the intersections of information technology and creative practices -Multidisciplinary collaborating teamwork: limited body of literature that explores the use of and potential for, collaborative multidisciplinary approaches to design education.

Editor's Notes

  1. Lynnea will start here.
  2. what is it?? 14-15 slide?
  3. Technology advances are changing at an exponential rates. We are living in a world of greater infusion of technology in every facet of modern life. We are connected with social media and real time - 24/7 hour news cycles and bombarded with more information than ever before. There is a rapid decline in jobs that are rote or routine in nature, instead we are teaching our students to be critical thinkers, effective collaborators and communicators, masters of creativity...so that they can be informed, responsible citizens, so that they are ready for life and not a job that may not even exist at this moment and time.
