Looking for work... a job? Improve your chances with Critical Digital Literacy.

Without digital literacy experience, a person attempting to use any of the following strings of text in a Google search could become discouraged, discontented and disappointed faster than it would take a million results to be returned.

"Looking for a job"
About 4,130,000 results (0.16 seconds) - major results from job search, advertisement, and referral sites

"Looking for work"
About 2,870,000 results (0.13 seconds) - major results from individuals, recruiters, advertisers

"Found a job"
About 2,460,000 results (0.20 seconds)
- Ironically most results relate to Talking Head lyrics


The following sources would provide some direction for getting
started but your best options is to enroll in a DML E3D oriented program

The Difference: Digital Literacy Creates Better Groups, Firms, Schools, and Societies

Viva la Difference! Who can takes us on a really enagaging tour that examines why digital literacy matters. You thought the subject was simple? Well it is if you think in terms of the usual ways the media pigeon-hole digital technologies (Google, Microsoft) but as "DML E3D" quickly shows participants - digital media literacy can be framed in many, many more ways: and more than that - it provides proof after proof for why it makes a positive impact.

Graduates from last years Level I sessions have expressed love for the facilatitor's entertaining command of language, his knowledge of the subject and his clear enthusiasm for the topic. This is one of those rare opportunities that, alongside the transformative experiences after reading the likes of Blink, Wisdom of Crowds and Tipping Point, deserves wide adoption and social recommendations. In many ways it the 5 levels of engagment are all part of  an unabashed celebration of human-ness. Leave a comment or send and email to dml.e3d@gmail.com to get more information about registration.
