Development of social learning program for improving digital literacy

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to improve students’ four media literacy which are distributed cognition, collective intelligence, networking and negotiation and to enhance students’ collaboration skills through social learning program using Mindmeister. Mindmeister is one type of digital mind mapping programs and we dealt with this software as a social media system since students can link the videos or other websites, draw the map together and share with other people. The social learning program we suggested is targeted at the 4th grade students of elementary school and consists of pretraining and main program. We expect that students can enhance collaboration skill and express their four media literacy through the social learning program.
