Technology skills for teachers


In order to create Digital artifacts for teaching and learning teachers must have a variety of skills.

Skills include the ability to
 * Create Word processing documents (e.g. Office, or cloud document editors like Google docs)
 * Create Multimedia elements (images, audio, video)
 * Combine media (in a web page, using a presentation tool)

Video: Interactive Multimedia (Takes a lot of preparation and practice)

Technology skills for learners
This does depend on the level of student. Obviously the skills needed by a pre-schooler will be significantly different from those of an IT Degree student. However, when developing course material it is important to consider the skill set of the students you expect to use the content. In the "old" days text books were often rated using a "reading" level scale.
