I need an outline to read aloud in video and the citations.
Excellent leaders in educational technologies have a personal theory regarding technology and learning to ground their ideas and actions and to draw upon when working with students, faculty, or staff. Having a personal theory of digital literacies will better equip you to teach and lead effective technology use in the classroom.
Imagine yourself in the role of a technology coach who has been tasked with providing teachers with a mini professional development session. The session should be designed to provide them with an overview of digital literacies and examples of practical instructional strategies and classroom activities that focus on digital literacies to enhance instruction and support the promotion of digital citizenship.
Review “Theories, Models, Frameworks, and Strategies.” Consider the theory related to digital literacies that you researched and those you learned about in Discussion Question 1 and cite at least one of the theories as part of the professional development session.
Create a 3-5 minute video targeted toward teachers in grades 4K-1st grade which I am interested in working with. Remember that video and audio quality are important and should be taken into consideration. Ensure your video is filmed with sufficient lighting and that the volume is adequate for viewers to hear. Intonation, expression, proper speech, and professional attire are expected.
Refer to “Recording, Editing, and Uploading a Video or Podcast” and use an online video platform such as Zoom, Loom, YouTube, or Vimeo to upload your completed video. If you upload your video to YouTube, select the “unlisted” option. Ensure that others can access and view your linked video prior to submission.
Show professionalism in your speech and appearance.
In a 3-5 minute video,
Explain your personal philosophy of digital literacies, including what you believe digital literacies to be and their purpose in creating effective and engaging learning environments. Reference and cite at least one of the theories you researched for Discussion Question 1. (Digital literacies refer to the skills and knowledge required to effectively navigate, evaluate, and create information using digital technologies. This includes the ability to use digital tools, understand and interpret digital content, and engage in online communication and collaboration. Digital literacies encompass a wide range of competencies, from basic computer skills to critical thinking and ethical understanding of digital environments. Virtual tools are digital applications and platforms that facilitate various tasks and activities in a virtual environment. These tools can include software for communication (e.g., video conferencing apps), collaboration (e.g., shared documents), education (e.g., learning management systems), and many other purposes. Virtual tools enable users to work, learn, and interact without the constraints of physical location. New media refers to digital forms of communication that emerged with the advent of the internet and digital technology. Unlike traditional media (such as print newspapers, radio, and television), new media include interactive and user-generated content, such as social media platforms, blogs, wikis, and multimedia content. New media are characterized by their digital nature, interactivity, and the ability for users to create and share content widely. Related to these concepts is media literacy, which is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in various forms. It involves understanding the role of media in society, recognizing different types of media messages, and critically assessing the influence of media on beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Media literacy aims to empower individuals to become informed and responsible consumers and producers of media content. A key question arising from these definitions is how educators can balance the teaching of traditional literacies with the growing importance of digital literacies and new media to ensure students are prepared for both the current digital age and future technological advancements (Hobbs).Resource: Hobbs, Renee. Digital and Media Literacy: Connecting Culture and Classroom. Corwin, 2011.)
