I've been thinking a great deal of what the new "basics" should be. What exactly should my students know? What should be in their toolkit?
They should know how to:
1. set privacy settings when they create an account.
2. create a digital portfolio.
3. create their own sites: blogs, wikis, websites etc.
4. use a presentation tool.
5. use communication tools such as twitter effectively.
6. work in a collaborative document.
7. use an audio tool.
8. grammar and spell check their work.
9. upload and download.
10. compress and uncompress files.
11. develop a positive web presence.
12. conduct effective searches.
13. trace their digital footprint.
14. use social media.
Any other suggestions?
