      Abstract
      Why 'Digital Smarts'?

      We chose digital smarts as the key phrase for the book because we have appropriated it to encompass the following

      ●an emphasis on pedagogy

      ●agency, or students' active participation in their learning. This includes any learner in early childhood through to secondary and tertiary learning contexts where learners exercise agency over the focus of learning, generate content and resources, and are encouraged to provide feedback and feedforward to each other

      ●creativity

      ●risk-taking, experimentation, inquiry

      ●challenging the publishing status quo—managing our own workload, using open review processes, viewing assessment as learning, posing challenges for teachers and seeking open access to research publications.

      We think it is important for digital technologies to be seen as the servants of learning, providing opportunities for all learners to be adaptive help-seekers and agents of their own lives as they appropriate these technologies as cultural tools.
