Increased access to digital technologies and social media has created new opportunities and challenges for education. New tools are used by schools to support teaching, learning and interaction, facilitate teachers’ professional development and promote online school-related conversations with parents and other audiences.
This first report of the three-year project “DETECT – Developing Teachers’ Critical Digital Literacies” presents the Critical Digital Literacies framework that has been created as part of the project’s Intellectual output.
This new framework is not intended to replace other national or international efforts aimed towards assessing and developing digital literacies but rather to complement these and contribute to the ongoing debate in this fast-changing field. More specifically, it aims to bring together the various dimensions of other literacies, such as digital literacy, information literacy, media literacy and data literacy that have been identified in the literature, and policy-making, and synthesise these into a comprehensive framework that will allow teachers to reflect upon, assess and further develop their critical digital literacies.
