3. Key terms: Open Educational Resources … digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self-learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research (OECD, 2007). Create License Remix Share … teaching, learning and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others. (Atkins et al. 2007).

4. Frameworks for digital literacy Current debates focusing on issues of ICT in the curriculum ("Shut down or restart?" Royal Society report) Digital literacy as a continuum between the purely social and the purely technological Move from the singular ‘literacy’ to the plural ‘literacies’ to emphasise the sheer diversity of existing accounts (Lankshear and Knobel, 2008). Digital literacies as "the constantly changing practices through which people make traceable meanings using digital technologies" (Gillen and Barton, 2011).

5. DL Tensions: sharing resources From focus groups: you have to be sharing with the kids anyway all the time’ You don’t know what reaction you would get… can you imagine if you put it on you tube and you got loads of thumbs down?’ - a well-developed culture of sharing resources via resource banks such as teachernet; TES etc. as well as informal sharing (Facebook etc.) - very low awareness of issues around copyright and accessibility ‘polished performance’ vs. accounts of ‘real life’ ’
