Presented Craig Watkins ~ Speech Highlights
- Author of The Young & the Digital, partner with the MacArthur Foundation
- One of the questions we should as ourselves is how are students learning in the digital age? Learning is happening in so many different places, not just in schools.
- The degree to which students are using social media/network sites are two fold: friendship driven and interest driven.
- Students will need a set of Hard and Soft Skills to be considered Digitally Literate: networking, multitasking, crowdsourcing, demonstrate technical and media skills, collect, interpret, and curate data, understand the difference between private and public profiles, digital citizenship, and multi-modal communication.
