From Ian Jukes: [] 21st century fluency/literacy

i. Literate- still have to think, what do I have to do next ii. **Fluency**- unconscious skills (example- riding a bike)

See Jukes' Fluency breakdown

1. Technological fluency- involves transparent use of digital tools to perform a wide range of tasks (Headware not hardware- using digital camera to take digital pic example) 2. Media Fluency- look at digital content to see how media is being used to communicate, how well it’s used, being able to assess the effectiveness of message through the media—digital natives able to create products to communicate—digital natives seem to have amazing tech skills, but there are huge holes in their experience/knowledge—educators need to be able to fill these holes—kids need to create digital products to demonstrate learning 3. Information Fluency—ability to unconsciously and intuitively interpret digital information to extract essential knowledge and significance—need to ask GOOD QUESTIONS to get good answers, access and acquire (mining data)—authenticate/arrange/analyze (be able to understand fact/opinion—what’s real—understand and recognize bias—apply that knowledge in real life, real time, real world (or simulation) problem—VIP (vision into practice)- ASSESS—what was learned, reflect on the process—not just a teacher task, also a learner task  iii. Should be taught in every content area, not just teacher librarian/media specialist
