Digital literacy

This creative
work provides students with a strong foundation in what many educators (Brown, Bryan, &
Brown, 2005; Jakes, 2006; Partnership for 21st
Century Skills, 2004) have begun calling 21st
Century Literacy, Digital Age Literacies, or 21st
Century Skills. Regardless of the specific term
being used, these skills are being described as
the combination of:
Digital literacy—the ability to communicate
with an ever-expanding community to discuss
issues, gather information, and seek help;
Global literacy—the capacity to read, interpret,
respond, and contextualize messages from a
global perspective
Technology literacy—the ability to use computers and other technology to improve learning, productivity, and performance;
Visual literacy—the ability to understand, produce, and communicate through visual images;
Information literacy—the ability to find, evaluate, and synthesize information.
