Inquiry Blog 6: Future Vision Design Considerations

My vision is to create a resource site for educators on digital literacy. Digital literacy is a passion for me and consequently was my focus for my Masters last year. I created a Digital Literacy 12 BAA course for my Masters’ project and have had the opportunity to teach the course twice this year. This was timely as my district is beginning to explore digital literacy on a broader scale next year and I was to be a key support through my role as a district curriculum coordinator. However, as I will be on maternity leave next year I am leaving at a time when my fledgling knowledge around digital literacy is needed. As a result, I have decided to create an Educator’s Resource Website where I can offer what I have learned about digital literacy over the last 3 years. My target audience will be teachers and teacher librarians so my main goal will be to make the website user friendly with practical resources and examples that might be useful for busy professionals looking to integrate digital literacy into their practice. I’ve created the below mind map of potential items to include on the website and I would be grateful for any feedback. What would you find useful on this website if you were looking to learn more about digital literacy?
