Digital Literacy for Teachers, what does that really mean

Experience has shown that the complexities of technology infused learning are quite significant for teachers. And yet, we know there are digitally literate teachers who use technology for learning to great success. How do they do this? What skills, attitudes, and behaviors do they exhibit in their work? And, most importantly, how does one become a digitally literate teacher? In this session, we will use the Framework for Learning Technology Support for Educators to help participants understand what it means to be a Digitally Literate Teacher and we work together to develop action plans to meet this goal. This

will be an interactive webinar with group work and materials to take home.
