\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I., \u2013 December 22, 2015 \u2013 A graduate certificate program created by professors at the 溏心vlog免费B站 has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a model of teacher education. The Graduate Certificate in Digital Literacy was singled out by the Office of Educational Technology in the 2016 National Education Technology Plan. <\/p>\n


\nThe national plan calls on American educators to ensure fair access to learning through technology. In particular, it urges schools to redesign teacher preparation programs from a single technology course to the use of technology throughout teacher preparation. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cBy targeting a broad audience to participate in the program, 溏心vlog免费B站 is expanding the number of educators with the professional capacity to help students learn, access, analyze, create, reflect and take action using digital tools, texts, and technologies in all aspects of their lives,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n


\nSince 2012, the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy has reached 400 educators from 25 states and 15 countries. The 4th annual program will be at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Feinstein Campus, 80 Washington St., Providence, from July 24 through July 29. Thanks to a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Studies, Rhode Island librarians participating in the Media Smart Libraries program will receive scholarships to attend. <\/p>\n


\nIn the program, participants learn to use new digital tools involving literacy, including Storify, FlipGrid, Symbaloo, Padlet, Wikispaces, WordPress and Evernote. <\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 professors Julie Coiro and Renee Hobbs launched the Graduate Certificate in Digital Literacy in 2014. The program is co-sponsored by 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s School of Education and the Media Education Lab at the Harrington School of Communication and Media. The program supports regional and national leaders in digital literacy education. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe are thrilled to be recognized in the 2016 NET Plan,\u201d said Coiro, co-director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 program and associate professor at the School of Education. \u201cToday, all teachers need a solid understanding of how to use technology to support learning and literacy. Effective use of technology is not an optional add-on or a skill that we simply can expect teachers to pick up on their own.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nParticipants get hands-on experience. \u201cParticipants are introduced to key theories of digital literacy in inquiry-driven learning and given time to experiment with and explore a wide range of digital texts, tools and technologies,\u201d said Hobbs. <\/p>\n


\nMany 溏心vlog免费B站 professors have participated in the summer institute including Mary Moen, assistant professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies. Joyce Valenza, one of the nation\u2019s leading experts in technology integration in school libraries and a professor of library and information studies at Rutgers University, also spoke. <\/p>\n


\nAmong other speakers are: Kelly Mendoza, a senior curriculum specialist at Common Sense Media, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization; Rhys Daunic, founder of Media Spot, a media literacy consulting firm in New York; Jill Castek, assistant professor of education at Portland State University; Kristin Hokanson, an independent educational technology consultant and leader in the International Society for Technology Education; Charlie Coiro, an instructor at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy\u2019s Leadership Development Center; and Jonathan Friesem, a 溏心vlog免费B站 doctoral student in the School of Education and now on the faculty of Central Connecticut State University. <\/p>\n
