Digital fluency PLD
Use digital technologies in learning and teaching to enhance achievement and reduce disparity.
For learners, digital fluency involves becoming adept producers of digital content. Critical thinking is key as learners come to grips with the social costs and benefits of digital technologies, including understanding the impact of digital technologies on equity. Digitally fluent learners understand how language, symbols and text influence effective communication.
Digitally fluent learners understand how language, symbol and text influence effective communication.
Digital fluency threads through all of the national PLD priorities – assessment for learning, local curriculum design, and cultural capability for English-medium, and aromatawai, marau ā-kura, and mātauranga and te reo Māori for Māori-medium settings.
When ākonga are digitally fluent they can meet the entitlements of Te Marautanga o Aotearoa and the New Zealand Curriculum.
Connecting and aligning digital fluency professional learning alongside the other PLD priority areas is likely to support ākonga to use language, symbols, and text effectively and develop critical thinking skills to respond to an ever-changing world.
Our consultants can work with schools to evaluate, design and support the enactment of digital fluency. Kaiako/teachers and ākonga/students can confidently use digital technologies in learning and teaching to enhance achievement and reduce disparity.
