These are Wesley Fryer's slides for the opening keynote at the August 15-16, 2013, iPad Academy in Chicago Public Schools. The official description was: Digital literacy today means much more than searching the Internet and using Microsoft Office. To be digitally literate, teachers as well as students need to be able to create and share online a variety of different multimedia products. These media products can be “mapped” to your curriculum, and if you’re in a Common Core state in the United States, to the Common Core State Standards. Interactive Writing, Narrated Art, 5 Photo Stories, Narrated Slideshows, Screencasts, Quick Edit Videos, and eBooks are a few of the media products learners should be able to create and safely share online. In this session, we’ll view different examples of student media products and learn about tools and strategies for helping teachers become digitally literate as “media mappers.” We’ll also explore how librarians and instructional coaches can use the “Mapping Media to the Curriculum” website as a roadmap to help teachers and students create media products as assignments for class and as artifacts in digital portfolios.

“Australia’s Telstra and its mobile
network supplier Ericsson have
completed a live network trial of
a new LTE technology that
essentially splices two entirely
different parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum
together, creating a kind of super-
connection to the mobile
network...To put it in
perspective, it’s about four times
as fast as anything we have today
in the U.S. and two or three times
faster than networks in Europe or
Canada. But North America and
the old world aren’t too far
behind...As for the technology’s
practical use, the obvious
advantage is speed, though at
certain point there’s not much
difference between a 15 Mbps
connection and a 50 Mbps
connection on a smartphone.
