“Informa'on  literacy  is  the  metaliteracy  for  the  digital  age  because  it  provides  the  higher  order  thinking  to  engage  with  mul'ple  document  types  through  various  media  formats  in  collabora've  environments….  Metaliteracy  provides  an  all-­‐inclusive  core  for  engaging  with  individuals  and  ideas  in  digital  environments.”  —Mackey  and  Jacobson  (2011)

Digital  Pedagogy  “Digital  pedagogy  is  the  use  of  electronic  elements  to  enhance  or  to  change  to  [sic]  experience  of  educa'on.”    –MLA  Digital  Pedagogy  Unconference    “Students  and  learners  should  be  central  in  mapping  the  terrain  of  digital  pedagogy.  Educa'onal  ins'tu'ons  should  dedicate  themselves  to  suppor'ng  this  work….  Digital  pedagogy  is  less  about  knowing  and  more  a  rampant  process  of  unlearning,  play,  and  rediscovery.”  —Jesse  Stommel,  Hybrid  Pedagogy  [email protected]          @greenharr
