For students, the need to turn their &#8216;tech savvy\u2019 knowledge into sound digital literacy is accepted as a discrete ability and as a part of the \u2018employability\u2019 mind-set that is now fully explored and understood. For teachers, being able to use technology for purposeful pedagogy, articulating great teaching through technology, rather than simply using technology for its own sake requires a confidence and depth of understanding of both the affordances of the technology and the experiences it supports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This ALT Open Education SIG webinar is shared with FELTAG SIG and is part of a series of webinars ALT is organising in support of the FELTAG Movement.
