A digital literacy tutorial for secondary students
MyWorld: A digital literacy tutorial for secondary students aims to teach students essential digital literacy skills through simulating their favourite online experiences. The tutorial is divided into four chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of digital literacy: researching and authenticating online information, managing privacy and reputation, dealing with online relationships and using digital media in an ethical manner.
In each chapter, students use a variety of online tools and environments — a search engine, a social networking site, for example — to complete tasks that challenge their digital literacy skills. These tasks are based on issues youth encounter daily, relating to their friends, schoolwork and personal lives.
MyWorld includes:
- an interactive online tutorial
- training presentations on each chapter for teachers
- an extensive Teacher’s Guide with detailed instructions and assessment tools
- a Classroom Activities Guide with background information, student handouts, and introductory, warm-up, follow-up and extension activities
