FOUR SKILLSETS

Cultural

The cultural element is bound up with an understanding of context—the issues, norms and habits of mind surrounding technologies (e.g., social media apps) we use for a particular purpose (e.g., work, play, learning,etc.). This element is best acquired through immersion in a range of digital environments.

Cognitive

The cognitive element requires mastery of both technical and cognitive processes. The emphasis here should not be on the ability to use a set of digital tools, but on the "habits of mind" that are developed through interacting with them. This element can be developed through exposure to a range of devices, software platforms and interfaces.

Constructive

The constructive element encompasses creating something new, including using and remixing content from other sources to make something original. Developing this element involves knowing how and for what purposes content can be appropriated, reused and remixed.

Communicative

The communicative element is about developing an understanding of how communication networks function with the aim of engaging them. Developing the element requires not only learning about the power of these networks, but being part of them.

FOUR MINDSETS

Confident

The confident element is based on understanding and capitalizing on the ways the digital world differs from the analog. In particular, digital environments can be more forgiving in regards to experimentation than physical environments. Developing this element involves solving problems and managing one's own learning.

Creative

The creative element is about doing new things in new ways that somehow add value in a particular context. Developing this element requires learning activities that capitalize on the unique features of digital technology and provide learners with greater freedom to explore and then synthesize their experiences.

Critical

The critical element is about analyzing the power structures and assumptions behind literacy practices. This element is the closest to what is often termed "media literacy."

Civic

The civic element involves the development of practices that support civil society. This element focuses on the ability of people to use digital environments to create organizations and relationships over and above those provided by the state and commercial institutions.
