Digital literacy

Student conference: Monday 18 – Sunday 24 October

To what extent should new technology allow 21st century learning to take place when, where and how you as students choose?

Register to take part – coming soon.

This conference is an opportunity for students from around the world to share their views on how new technology should be used for their learning. How do you think students can gain more equal access to technological resources and training? Students are asked to consider the positive and negative aspects of technology in education, and to show just how digitally literary they really are.

Key questions for discussion include:

• What difference should new technology make to the learning of students around the world?
• How digitally literate are you?
• How willing are the teachers in your school to use technology as part of your lessons?
• How can young people make sure they use new technologies as part of their learning safely and intelligently?
• How realistic is it to expect young people from all parts of the world to use new technology in their learning?
• Can digital literacy be brought truly into schools when adults are so far behind students in terms of skill levels?
• What skills do teachers/students need to be successful in this arena?
• What experiences of using new technologies for learning do you have to share with others?
