New digital expressions produced by the use of new technologies

Elvia Ilaria Feola

This paper aims to reflect on the implications and challenges that experts in the field must face when they want to evaluate the performance of digital technologies use in teaching. The argument stems from a contextual and social assessment, then we proceed with an applicative and methodological assessment of digital literacy activities. The work is driven by a multidisciplinary and heuristic vision of the matter, that aims to highlight not only the technical and digital skills of teachers and learners, but also critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, research. The attempt is to bring out a three-dimensional view: technical; cognitive/metacognitive; ethical/social. That is, a complex combination of skills, abilities and knowledge.
