Reflection on Digital literacies talk

Before reading the article , I didn’t know that there was a difference between digital literacy and digital skills. What grabbed my attention the most was this saying “We often hear people talk about the importance of digital knowledge for 21st-century learners. Unfortunately, many focus on skills rather than literacies. Digital skills focus on what and how. Digital literacy focuses on why, when, who , and for whom.” Because it’s true , everything is now turning into digital . I’m kind of addicted to my digital life , I’m always using my phone , if not I’m using my laptop or something else.  

I found this very interesting “Instead of teaching how to use a hashtag and how to tweet and retweet, I give my students meaningful tasks to help their learning. (Twitter plays a large role in my teaching, but the essential elements can be applied in many technological contexts).” This is something everyone should know and learn, and to know why they tweet or post something not just because it’s a trend. 

In the talk on one of the boards, I wrote that everyone should learn coding ,and one of the doctors I think so, she asked why do I think that everyone should learn coding and she even asked in the talk the same question, my answer to her was that coding is the base for everything nowadays and its really important to know at least one programming language.
