Digital Literacy is the
process of teaching and
learning about technology
and the use of technology
(Ribble, 71).

Module 2- Appropriate vs. Inappropriate

Proper Uses
Students are provided

with online classes or

face to face classes.
(Mixture of the two).
Teacher use digital

technologies to create a
class website, where they
can get content even
when they are away from
the classroom.
(Ribble, 938)

Improper Uses
Teachers do not provide

resources where students

can use digital sources
(like blogs, websites,
podcasts, etc.).
Schools and Districts do

not offer online classes or

distance learning, so
students chose alternative
educational experiences.
(Ribble, 938)

Scenari
o #1
Rylee is a junior in high
school and she is getting
easily frustrated in the
classroom. She has
great computer skills
and feels that she can
go get a job based on
skills alone, so she drops
out of school.

o Is this proper or

improper?
o What can the
school district do
differently, if
anything at all?

Scenari
o #2
Andrew is a Sophomore in
high school. He has some
medical issues that keeps
him out of school (so he is
missing a lot of school
work). He talks with his
teachers and counselor
about him falling behind.
They suggest trying this
new online learning
program that their district
created. This will enable
him to work at his own
pace.

Types of Technologies

that can be used in the classroom for

instructional purposes, but some of my
favorites are PowToon, Glogster, and

upper elementary and older students.

assistance from an adult.

What is Padlet?
Padlet is an online sheet of paper where people can
express their thoughts on a topic easily. Participants
can add text, documents, images, and videos.

of some lessons that can be used in the classroom.
