Summary
In her presentation, Strategies for Teaching Digital Literacy and Resilience in the Adult EAL Classroom, Emily Tucker from Carringbush Adult Education, discussed her research with the ISS institute which focused on best practice pedagogies of digital literacy skills for adult EAL migrant and refugee learners within a community-based education setting. These learners encounter significant challenges with digital devices that give them access to information allowing them to participate fully in everyday life, employment and education opportunities in Australia. Despite the obvious need to build these skills, many teachers have not yet been fully equipped with the relevant teaching strategies, but we know are eager to learn.
In this presentation, Emily shared practical strategies and tools for teaching digital literacy, which she observed on her recent US study tour and which she is trialling with her learners at Carringbush. Emily’s fellowship learnings provide an important contribution to the support of teachers in building digital resilience in their own practice and within their students.
Take-aways from Emily’s presentation included links to useful tools and other resources and these can be found below.
