Digital literacy is about more than the practically competent use of devices. It’s about students being able to use technology in a critical way in relation to wider social responsibilities and global citizenship. FutureLab (2010) propose that being “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.’
It’s a very broad church, so to speak, and the definitions don’t get any clearer the more you wade through academia. The definition of digital literacy varies from engaging with media through to basic technical ability.
