Information fluency is a major topic of research for me currently and the result of my current quest lead to a deeper understanding of what is really necessary to develop a true learning network. One of the major concepts that resonates is the comparison of digital literacy and digital fluency. I see I have my work cut out for me in reaching my goal of becoming fluent. I am currently digital literate demonstrated in my understanding of how to use many platforms. I need to become digitally fluent; able to use technology to communicate and create in all facets required in the situation.
I do feel able to take on the task after reviewing ways to foster inquiry, a skill I need to reach my goals. Understanding that it is necessary to take small steps toward increasing skills and that I must be flexible when learning new things will help increase efficiency and effectiveness. Every misstep is a leap toward learning something new, so I will look forward to failures along the way. Most importantly, be sure the work is engaging and enjoyable!
Hi Danielle! I have always felt I was digitally literate but because the digital world is evolving so quickly, I find myself struggling to keep up. Fluency is about spending time practicing so I hope that this will improve for myself too. By the way, I love your positive attitude in your posts.
