Digital Literacy A Vision of K-12 Students Today


What is Digital Literacy?

Digital Literacy

Digital Literacy includes learning how to use technology's tools. The list of tools is never ending. Educators as well as students must thoughtfully determine which tools are essential to their digital literacy tool kit. Tool kit's vary from one educator to another as they do from one student to another. Once you have mastered a particular tool, move on to another so you can increase your digital power.
Students are wired to learn digitally. They come to us with handhelds practically attached to their limbs. Our obligation is to teach them to become responsible digital citizens as well as discerning users of everything the internet has to offer.
