22. DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
(DLE) refers to the tools, skills,
standards, attitudes and habits for
learning while using technology and
accessing digital resources.
#flatconnect | #digitalcitizenship | #ACEC2014

23. In a ‘flattened’ DLE where learning is
connected there is no hierarchy.
Students, teachers, ALL learners have
freedom to communicate ‘across’
rather than up or down

• Authentic, real-world tasks - students are

time and space, with the extended community
• A shared understanding - of what it means to
learn within a DLE

32. “…the norms of behavior with
regard to technology use”
Ribble and Bailey
Digital Citizenship….

33. Technical Awareness
Technical awareness is the core awareness that
enables a person to be a digital citizen.
It lets you put on your “shoes” and run into the
21st century.

34. Individual Awareness
It comes down to how you want to behave
online, and if you will go online.
Healthy lifestyle choices, balance and a person’s
individual goals.

35. Social Awareness
The digital citizen is able to interpret situations
and retain interpersonal skills with friends and
colleagues whether they are face-to-face or
online.

the divide between what
students know and do at
school and what they know
and do in real life.

becoming effective global
