DIGITAL LITERACY IN THE ENGLISH CLASSROOM
Digital
literacy is a key 21st Century skill. In order to effectively engage
globally, English language students need to learn to use digital tools and to
express themselves with those tools in English. In this interactive workshop,
we will first explore what we mean by digital literacy and we will discuss
tools used in classrooms in the United States and in Vietnam. We will then
focus on how to give students classroom opportunities to use digital tools to
create digital content in English. In particular, we will look at how creating
video book reviews gives students opportunities to share their opinions on a
book in a new way and how combining audio with images allows students to tell
digital stories.
