Welcome to the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy. We're entering a new era as we transform learning and teaching with the power of digital literacy and online professional development. This six-day institute focuses on how literacy is changing as a result of emerging media and technologies. We will consider the implications of this cultural and technological shift for teaching and learning at all levels, and explore innovative approaches now being used by K-12 educators, librarians, and college and university faculty, both in and out of the classroom. Through the week, you will learn how to conduct project-based inquiry using a variety of digital texts, tools and technologies to help create challenging and engaging learning opportunities for you and your students.
