Digital LIteracies

What do we mean?

I thought it would be useful to define what the digital skills were that we are talking about. For me they are:
Creativity: - media literacies; podcasts/videos/creative apps
Information Literacy: critical thinking and analysing sources; research skills, searching and using data
Citizenship :

The digital literacies competences framework from JISC https://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/developing-students-digital-literacy

JISC use the definition which I have found to be most useful and straight forward
"the capabilities which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society"

Online identity

Who are you? (online)

One of the easiest things to manage and the thing you should have control over is your online presence. Who you are online is important as it is the means by which you communicate, collaborate and identify with others.

Some stats

80% Employers look at your profile
Professional headshot
Your online portfolio
The size of your digital footprint
Your character and behavior

according to Glassdoor, 80% employers are looking at your online profile.
They want to see that you are able to manage your online presence and will respect their reputation as a member of their community.

They are also interested in the company you keep.
Fun fact: Some credit scores are decided by the area you live in and the people you are friends with.

You are known by the company you keep in real life and virtually.

Lurker - no interaction
contributor - will respond, use others content, not new content
creator - new content, shares and responds
None of the above - never use online spaces for my professional life

WHO'S in the room

ACTIVITY: Google each other

ACTIVITY:

Google your partner - not yourself as the Google 'filter' will kick in and you won't get good results.

Discuss the results
- was your online presence as expected?

Share your results with your partner

Give a score for your own results
1 - nothing there to identify who you are

2 - can identify yourself, limited information

3 - good breadth of info, managed effectively
