Welcome to the Digital Ambassador Program
Congratulations Digital Ambassadors! This course was designed for those students who are working to help others in their community develop digital literacy skills. The course is initially being launched to students in five school districts in North Carolina by NCBCE (the North Carolina Business Commission for Education). The development of the content in these courses and ongoing coaching supports are provided by consultants with Advanced Learning Partnerships, and educational course funds for content development and coaching provided by a grant from the North Carolina Department of Information Technology.
The course is organized into five modules addressing topics related to working with others around digital literacy. Those five broad topics are:
- Being a Strong Communicator;
- Working with Adults;
- Designing Learning;
- Digital Citizenship; and
- Interacting through Technology.
Each module contains background information and assignments that will help you demonstrate these skills. The modules are very action-oriented. There are no multiple-choice assessments or quizzes. All assignments and activities are intended to help you develop and demonstrate important skills that you will use as a Digital Ambassador. Some of these you may already know. Some may be new to you.
Throughout the modules there are suggestions to help organize the work of your Digital Ambassador team. There are specific suggestions for your team's lead teacher or coordinator. There is no one way to organize a Digital Ambassador team. These are just suggestions to try to help.
