What is a Digital World

“Digital World is a contemporary expression to communicate the importance of digital technology today.” (Chandra, 2018)

There were 14209000 internet subscribers in Australia in December of 2017 ("8153.0 - Internet Activity, Australia, December 2017", 2018)

There are 19.7 million active phone users in Australia ("Mobile phone users in Australia 2011-2019 | Statistic", 2018)

86% of Australian households have access to the internet ("8146.0 - Household Use of Information Technology, Australia, 2016-17", 2018)


Technology has enabled interaction with entertainment, cultural, and economic activities, of which many were once confined to mobility in the immediate environment (Howell, 2012, p.12; Wilson, Kellerman, & Corey, 2013, p. 93).

Entertainment, recreational, business and work-related activities can now all be practiced through the internet. The digital world has enabled for internet banking, online shopping, and online gaming as well as many other everyday activities that we do.


What is a digital pedagogy?
“It is the study of how to teach using digital technologies” (Howell, 2012)
Digital pedagogies are utilised to educate in the digital world.


Why do we need digital pedagogies?
Students are digitally expectant. They are ‘digital natives’ (Prensky, 2001 The students as well as their parents expect 21st century learning, where education is rich in digital technologies. (Howell, 2012) 21st Century learners prefer instancy, such as instant gratitude, instant information, hyperlinks etc. (“What is a digital world?”, 2018)
“Students of the digital world require interaction and active participation in their learning” (Howell, 2012)

21st century learning in the digital world has lead to many benefits in regards to teaching and learning. Students are very familiar and fluent with recreational technologies such as gaming consoles, so when digital technologies are introduced into learning, students find tasks more engaging and motivating. Since teaching in the digital world is a relatively new approach, the increased motivation and engagement leads to more productive and effective teaching. (Howell, 2012)
