CONCEPT PAPER:
Preparing Students for Future Technology
Introduction
Students are using technology as a tool or a support for
communicating with others, they are in an active role rather than
the passive role of recipient of information transmitted by a
teacher, textbook, or broadcast. The student is actively making
choices about how to generate, obtain, manipulate, or display
information. Technology use allows many more students to be
actively thinking about information, making choices, and
executing skills than is typical in teacher-led lessons. Moreover,
when technology is used as a tool to support students in
performing authentic tasks, the students are in the position of
defining their goals, making design decisions, and evaluating their
progress.
Background
Educators have a responsibility to prepare students to
succeed in a world of digital technology (Bawden, 2008), but they
cannot easily come to a consensus about exactly how to do that
because technology continues to change so rapidly (Nelson,
Courier, and Joseph, 2011). Consequently, the concept of “digital
literacy” has emerged in the discourse among educators as they
prepare students to keep stride with new innovations. Any
instructional methods are applied in differing ways, and variances
occur, “within as well as between grade levels” (Breaux,
Danridge, and Pearson, p. 227), so it is crucial to identify the
methods that experienced teachers find most effective for
promoting the development of digital literacy while teaching
various subjects and grade levels.
Project Description
Technology provides numerous tools that teachers can use
in and out of the classroom to enhance student learning. This
project aims to identify the instructions methods experienced
teachers perceive to be most effective for improving digital literacy
at the high school level. One of the difficulties in forming a
consensus about how to best teach students about technology is
the fact that it changes so quickly. Therefore, it is reasonable to
seek guidance from experienced teachers as they continuously
modify their instructional methods to better promote digital
literacy.
Support or Budget
This project doesn’t need a budget, instead it is highly
needing time, internet and specially the gadget because it will be
held in Zoom meting for us to avoid crowd, follow our health
protocols and for the safety of everyone.

Additional Activities
Loving the world is not the same thing as being in love with
it. It also doesn’t imply that loving the world makes you a person
of the world. In fact, I feel quite strongly that in order to truly love
the world you need a tremendous amount of courage. You also
need to cultivate an awareness or stillness to open up a space
within you to find ways to love, rather than dissociative resent, the
world. It is in attention where we fall in love. In presence.
