Digital Literacy Around the World: Helping Clinicians Know What to Do

Dear Participants,

We have the pleasure and honour to re-present an online composium titled 'Digital Literacy Around the World: Helping Clinicians Know What to Do' here on the webspace of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Cyprus University of Technology. The offering is a gift from the Child Language Committee of the IALP to clinicians and researchers worldwide. It addresses the opportunities and challenges of digital literacy for children and adolescents who struggle with language.

Here, registered participants have no-cost access to prerecorded presentations given by outstanding scientists from October 1 to December 31, 2022. Below are the four presentations you can watch by clicking on them.

1. Nickola Wolf Nelson (Emerita Western Michigan University, USA): Combining Digital Literacy and Writing Process Instruction to Foster Language Development (K-12)

2. Carol Westby (Bilingual Multicultural Service, USA): Digital Education for 21st Century Children

3. Barbara Ehren (Formerly University of Central Florida, USA): Teaching Adolescents Who Struggle with Language How to Identify Fake News in Digital Environments

4. Sharon Moonsamy and Anniah Mupawose (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa): Digitalized Literacy: Writing as a Tool for Thinking from the Context of a Development Country.

The online 45 min live chat takes place on the December 7, 2022 at 12:00 pm GMT. All registered participants can attend the chat to ask questions and discuss application of the information. A zoom link has been sent to registered participants. The organizers tried hard to offer the chat at a time accessible to participants around the world. However, this isn't easy. If the chat is impossible to attend in your time zone, please do not hesitate to address your questions to the presenters via email. They are all pleased to answer and discuss all of your questions.

We hope all participants have a productive time.
