I like the idea of modeling and incorporating digital literacy skills into content lessons. It is always important to review internet safety and responsibility during class instruction. Digital Literacy involves teaching students the skills needed, knowledge needed and the mindset needed to effectively use digital technology to communicate, work together and solve problems.
The Fourth IR has already had a huge impact on teaching and learning. Because of Covid, this forced me to change my ways of delivering instruction to my students. It has allowed for more opportunities for students to use technology. I found many benefits to help with differentiating instruction which is also beneficial when I am tracking my students IEP Goals.
