What is Literacy?

What is Information and
Communication Technology (ICT)?
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) include
computers, laptops, digital cameras, video cameras, digital
microscopes, scanners, cell phones, electronic games, digital
audio
devices, global positioning systems, electronic
whiteboards, the Internet, et cetera. ICTs in the classroom will
continue to evolve as new technologies emerge over time.
What is Literacy with ICT?
Literacy with Information and Communication Technology
(LwICT) means thinking critically and creatively, about
information and about communication, as citizens of the
global community, while using ICT safely, responsibly
and ethically.
ICT literacy
ICT literacy refers to the ability to effectively access, use,
and manage information and communication technology.
It encompasses a range of skills needed to navigate digital
environments, including:
Technical Skills:
Understanding how to operate computers, software, and
other technology tools.
Information Skills:
The ability to find, evaluate, and use information from
various sources, including the internet, databases, and
digital libraries.
Communication Skills:
Using technology-based communication tools (like email,
social media, and video conferencing) to share information
and collaborate with others.
Critical Thinking:
Analyzing and assessing information for credibility and
relevance, and making informed decisions based on that
analysis.
Digital Citizenship:
Understanding ethical considerations and responsibilities
in a digital environment, including issues like privacy,
security, and cyberbullying.
Creativity:
Using ICT tools to create new content, whether through
writing, multimedia productions, or other forms of digital
expression.
ICT literacy is increasingly important in many areas,
including education, the workplace, and daily life, as
technology continues to evolve and play a central role in
communication and information dissemination.

The MOOC embraces ICT literacy
The MOOC embraces ICT literacy, as the course
itself is
online. Learners are required to be able to use a computer,
navigate the Canvas LMS and the course site, understand
how to post in
discussion forums, access and complete the
online activities and open
media such as the video
introductions in each module and a few
supplementary
slideshows.
The MOOC does not assume that all learners
had
strong ICT skills from the beginning, and provides a
number of different resources and detailed instructions that
learners could access if they need guidance.
These include:
1-Resources to learn how to navigate the LMS, including a
video overview of the course interface, instructions on how
you can
communicate with your instructor, details on how
to update your profile
and change notification settings, and
a link to a full Canvas guide.
2-Information on computer basics, including using your
mouse, working
with Windows, common computer
programs and apps, working with files and
folders, and
keyboard shortcuts.
3-Information on internet basics, such as explaining the
internet
browser, conducting an internet search,
downloading files from the web,
setting up an email
account, an introduction to cloud computing and how
to
make sure your computer is safe from viruses and spyware.
4-Clear instructions for how to use the technical tools in
completing
the discussion posts and learning activities (i.e.
“to make a new post,
click the Reply area directly below”;
“notice the icons located at the
bottom of the box which
allow for audio, video, photos and attachments.”)
How do Students Develop ICT Literacy?
Literate students support their critical and creative thinking
about textual, numerical, visual, and aural information as
they choose and use ICT, safely, responsibly and ethically.
They develop this literacy across the curriculum, through
inquiry, as they
- question and plan
- gather and make sense
- produce to show understanding
- communicate
- reflect on their learning
What is a Developmental Learning Continuum?
A developmental learning continuum is an assessment
tool for
based on teacher observations. It describes what
teachers see and hear
students doing, as they
demonstrate their literacy. Many teachers
already use
Continues for assessing learning in reading, writing
and numeracy.
