Digital Literacy presentation for Shanghai American School Elementary School parents. Note all videos used in the presentation are embedded at http://www.theswivelchair.com/digital-literacy-for-parents/
I didn't embed them here as I only used snippets of the first 2. The last three are in the entirety, so I may get around to embedding one day!!
The first 3 minutes of Sir Ken Robinson was used. The last 3 minutes of Machine is using us was used.
Pmacoun's graphic outlining the 3 major areas of Digital Literacy was used.

14. Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants
Marc Prensky
“ A really big discontinuity has taken place. One
might even call it a “singularity” – an event which
changes things so fundamentally that there is
absolutely no going back. This so-called
“singularity” is the arrival and rapid dissemination
of digital technology in the last decades of the
20th century.”
15. Digital Immigrant
Marc Prensky
“As Digital Immigrants learn –
like all immigrants, some better
than others – to adapt to their
environment, they always retain,
to some degree, their "accent,"
that is, their foot in the past.”
20. Digital Natives
Marc Prensky
“Digital Natives accustomed to
the twitch-speed, multitasking,
random-access, graphics-first,
active, connected, fun, fantasy,
quick-payoff world of their
video games, MTV, and Internet

Editor's Notes
No idea as to the future of education
Everyone has a vested interest
Children starting school this year retire 2065
Unpredictable
Creativity is as important in Education as literacy
Our perception of what it means to be successful and hierarchy of Educational subjects LET’S RANK OUR SUBJECTS IN MATTER OF IMPORTANCE…ie. Math, Science, Language Arts, Physical Education, Music, Art, Drama, Dance
Where does Technology fit into this?

How can we prepare students when we don’t know where it’s heading……. It was easy in the late 1800’s to design Education because we knew with the emergence of the Industrial Revolution that Engineering, Science etc were our future and that we required people to run this.
Today’s students have not just changed 
incrementally from those of the past, nor simply changed their slang, clothes, body adornments, or styles, as has happened between generations previously.

“Digital Natives crave interactivity—an immediate response to their each and every action. Traditional schooling provides very little of this compared to the
rest of their world (one study showed that students in class get to ask a question every 10 hours)
So it generally isn’t that Digital Natives can’t pay attention, it’s that they choose not to.”
Hannah in the Antique store recently.....
Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast. They like to
parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their graphics before their text rather than
the opposite. They prefer random access (like hypertext). They function best when
networked. They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards. They prefer games
to “serious” work.  (Does any of this sound familiar?)
I would like to watch and process this through a Digital Native mind
Stay positive about social networking sites – try to strike a balance
between educating children and young people to behave safely and trusting
them to get on with it. Get involved – ask them how to create a profi le, get
them to show you theirs and ask them to add you to their friends list!
