Today technology is running the world. These developing technologies connect us more directly to their power by linking to our brain. Now a day when someone talk it is very common to hear strange words, such as Smart Brain Technology, Emotive System, Digital Cleverness, Digital Literacy, Digital Dumbness and Digital Wisdom.
What constitutes digital wisdom? What habits do digitally wise use to advance their capabilities and the capabilities of those around them? People are digitally wise when they use available technologies to achieve what they want. Teachers are digitally wise when they help students to learn by using technology in the right way and encouraging them to use digital technology wisely. Blogs , Podcasts, Wikis, WebQuest, Treasure Hunts or Scavenger hunts are digital tools that we can use in our teaching without much difficulties.
It is a fact that our country is no longer behind in means of technology. Our students are very much exposed to modern technology. What is missing in them is the digital wisdom. They have digital cleverness. They use technology fluently in their daily lives but in a destructive way. So teachers, isn’t it our responsibility to make our students digitally wise. Digital wisdom can be and must be learned and taught. We teachers must have digital literacy and offer guidance in developing digital wisdom.
