Course Description:
Students need continual guidance in building digital literacy, and teachers need continually to reflect on how best to provide that guidance — and to refine their own skills. Just as basic literacy — reading and writing — must be a part of teaching and learning in every content area, so must digital literacy. This module is the first in a series offering a sound and thorough grounding in digital literacy as it pertains to the classroom — or of digital literacies, as the title of the module says, for there are many ways of thinking about digital literacy. This module covers strategies for online research, digital reading, and dealing with copyright and plagiarism. This module should take approximately 12 hours to complete and is worth 1.2 CEUs on completion. At the discretion of the district, this course may be appropriate to meet one of the following credit types: General, Digital Learning. This module replaces and updates the 2012 module Digital Literacies in the K–12 Classroom. Educators who have already received credit for that module (either self-paced or instructor-led version) should not take this module for credit; however, they are encouraged to skim through for updates, additional material, and reference.

The fact that a given tool could be used for educational purposes doesn't mean that you can use it in your classroom, with your students, or in any given lesson—or that you should.

This module will take approximately 10 hours to complete and is worth 1.0 CEU on completion. At the discretion of the district, this course may be appropriate to meet one of the following credit types: General, Digital Learning.

Course Description:
The sheer quantity of images available online, and the ease of creating and manipulating them by digital means, makes it crucial students learn to evaluate visual information in the same way they evaluate textual information. Although some of that work can be done by the same means as evaluating any information source, critically "reading" each type of visual information — photographs, charts, maps, videos, or "infographics" — requires special skill and a unique thought process. This module, the second in a series on Digital Literacies, explores those thought processes in detail and considers how you can teach them at various grade levels. This module should take approximately 10 hours to complete and is worth 1.0 CEU on completion. At the discretion of the district, this course may be appropriate to meet one of the following credit types: General, Digital Learning.
