Abstract:
Many students arrive at schools as digital natives, already having developed the ability to use a wide variety of technology. This means is that while students are generally adept at using technology, teachers need to shift their focus to guiding their students across the spectrum from technologically literate towards technologically fluency. Literacy refers to knowing what tools to use and how to use them. Fluency however goes beyond that. Fluency goes beyond that, to be considered fluent one must be able to reliably produce a desired outcome. Just like most students arrive knowing what a book or pencil is and have some idea how to use them, they still need guidance become fluent in their uses.  This website follows the Global Digital Citizen model. This model divides technological fluency into five areas: Solution Fluency, Information Fluency, Creativity Fluency, Media Fluency, and Collaboration Fluency. As one develops these five fluencies they ideally move towards being a Global Digital Citizen.
