This class we had the Audio/Video lab with guest, Rich McCue from theĀ Digital Scholarship Commons. Rich McCue, works for the digital scholarships commons at the University Of Victoria. We were taught about screen casting and given project resources for our pod presentations. MediaSmartsĀ has been developing digital media literacy programs and resources for Canadian homes, schools and communities since 1996. They have teaching resources and research that is very useful for assessing educational technology. Common Sense EducationĀ provides educators and students with the resources they need to harness the power of technology for learning and life. One feature I most enjoy is their pedagogical assessments of popular technology tools,Ā see this one on Kahoot for an example. BC Digital Literacy FrameworkĀ elaborates on six characteristics identified by B.C. educational leaders. These characteristics are based on the National Educations Technology Standards for Students (NETSā¢S) standards developed by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and encompass the types of knowledge and skills learners need to be successful in the 21st century. For scrutinizing specific educational technology apps and tools you may find theĀ SECTIONS Model for Assessing Technologies in the Classroom.
