    To be a digital faculty, one must be digitally fluent rather than just literate. This involves strategically using technologies to learn, work, and teach to improve student outcomes. Some interactive sites faculty can use include Padlet, Flipgrid, H5P, and Kahoot. To create a digitally fluent classroom, faculty should assign tech tools for students to present, start with personally interesting tools, give themselves time to learn tools, participate in professional development, research trends, and create a support group. Being a digital faculty is important to prepare students for the 21st century as technology continues to evolve.

    DIGITAL FACULTY FOR A DIGITAL

    FUTURE Hollie Henderson, and Megan Todd


    By: Kayla Kemfort, Carly Flowers,

    What does it mean to be a

    Digital Faculty?
    A digital faculty is one that is digitally fluent, not just

    digitally literate. "Fluency involves using technologies

    readily and strategically to learn, to work, and to play,

    and the infusion of technology in teaching and

    learning to improve outcomes for all students”

    (Spencer, 2020).
    Examples of interactive technology sites

    that can be used by a digital faculty:

    Steps to creating a digitally fluent

    classroom with a digital faculty:


    1. Assign tech tools to students and have them present the tool to the class

    and teacher. Students and teachers can discover new technology

    together and it helps to improve educator digital fluency as well as

    student digital fluency.


    2. Begin with tech tools that are of personal interest. Educators should

    begin with only a few new tools that they believe are engaging and will
    be of personal interest to them. Don’t overwhelm yourself with several

    new tools at once. After practice with the first few tools, educators can

    then build upon their list of tech tools.


    3. Do not expect to fully understand the tech tool right away. Educators

    should give themselves time and opportunity to play around and

    experiment with new tech tools.


    4. Participate in technology professional development courses. Many school

    systems now offer technology courses for their teachers to learn about

    current classroom technology. If your school does not provide this, ask

    your administration to provide more training in classroom technology.


    5. Research and keep up to date with technology trends. Educators should

    be aware of the latest trends within technology to keep up with this

    digital age.
    6. Create your own tech support group. Educators can make a Facebook

    page, a GroupMe, or a Remind group with fellow educators to support

    one another and share new technology. (Sartor, 2020)

    Why is being a digital

    faculty important?
    Living in an ever evolving and changing

    technological world, it is important that

    faculty members keep up with digital

    technologies that are out there. “If faculty

    desires to connect with their students in

    digital context, then they must make a

    concerted effort to catch up to them in

    experiencing the digital world." (Parasar,

    2017) Teachers who do not keep up with
