Integrating digital literacy and digital technology

To integrate digital literacy and digital technology in my the lesson plan for the upcoming school year I would include the following:

- With my assistance I would allow students to set up a blog site.
- Have the students post information from the lesson learnt on their blog site and have other students comment on the information
- Have the students use the K.W.L. strategy to post things they know about a particular topic, state things they want to know about a topic and things that they have learnt about a topic, while using the blog site.
- Using the blog site, students can post expository essays and read the comments that other students/people have to post about the topic
- Use WIMBA, web-conferencing for students to work in groups for composing a story.
- Participate in the collaborative writing process of wikipedia encyclopedia so that students will be encouraged to compose and read on topics in order to broaden their horizon
- Have students use ERIC to conduct research on particular topics such as The Solar System, Weather, Religions of the world.
