Graphic sketchnote outlining tips to integrate media literacy into classrooms as outlined from Media Smarts Canada [mediasmarts.ca/digital-media-literacy/general-information...]
I felt this bulletin board is very interesting for all of us as future teachers. Before applying to jobs we need to think about our digital footprint and how other teachers, parents and even our students will view us.
A quotation from my Ed.D. research into the concept of 'digital literacy'. More on my wiki here: dougbelshaw.com/wiki :-)
One way to incorporate digital literacy in the classroom is to have students use recording devices when presenting.
State Library Announces Online Family Literacy Activity Calendar
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The South Carolina Day by Day Family Literacy Activity Calendar is now an online tool that families, caregivers, educators and librarians can use at home and in the classroom to further develop early literacy skills helping young children become prepared for school and perform better in school. The goal is to provide families and caretakers a full year’s worth of activities that build early literacy skills in a fun and educational way.
The online calendar is similar to an activity book containing easy to follow daily activities, links to quality resources, and craft projects designed to utilize simple items that families may have readily available in their homes. Lists of recommended books encourage families to use their local public library.
When the print version of the calendar launched last year, the South Carolina State Library, with the help of many partners, placed over 14,000 calendars in the hands of children, families and classrooms, and continues to work with agencies and organizations to distribute many more. The first distribution points were geared to serve South Carolina’s low income and low literate communities or those which were small and rural, with access to few resources. With the addition of the online version, www.DaybyDaySC.org, the calendar with its early literacy activities can be brought to life and into the homes, classrooms, and libraries across the state.
The web site officially launched on December 3rd with an announcement to South Carolina’s children’s librarians who attended an annual meeting at the South Carolina State Library. Many of these librarians, along with their colleagues who work with young children in childcare or education, have been using the printed calendar and more recently, the Spanish version.

Now invention is again overthrowing the dominant media. A new distribution-and-display technology is nudging the book aside and catapulting images, and especially moving images, to the center of the culture. We are becoming people of the screen. The fluid and fleeting symbols on a screen pull us away from the classical notions of monumental authors and authority. On the screen, the subjective again trumps the objective. The past is a rush of data streams cut and rearranged into a new mashup, while truth is something you assemble yourself on your own screen as you jump from link to link. We are now in the middle of a second Gutenberg shift — from book fluency to screen fluency, from literacy to visuality.
