Digital Literacy What to teach and how to teach itNick Jackson

What is Digital Literacy?

Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, utilize, share, and create content using information technologies and the Internet. (Cornell University)

To be digitally literate is to have access to a broad range of practices and cultural resources that you are able to apply to digital tools. It is the ability to make and share meaning in different modes and formats; to create, collaborate and communicate effectively and to understand how and when digital technologies can best be used to support these processes. (Futurelab)

Digital literacy is using technologies to find, use and disseminate information. (Deakin University)

The capabilities which fit someone for living, learning and working in a digital society. (JISC)

applying off-the-shelf, ‘objective’ definitions of digital or new literacies is likely to ultimately lead to failure.….Context is key(Belshaw)
