  1.5 Exploring Digital Literacy

  •
• Literacy

• As discussed in Ng (2010), the definitions for digital literacy in the literature cover, singly or in combination, meanings that are technical, cognitive, psychological and/or sociological (Aviram & Eshet-Alkalai, 2006; Eshet-Alkalai, 2004). Eshet-Alkalai (2004) further suggested that digital literacy encompasses five types of literacies: photo-visual literacy, reproduction literacy, information literacy, branching literacy and socio-emotional literacy. Within the scope of this paper, a more general definition of digital literacy formulated by the European Information Society is adopted. The definition (Martin, 2005, p. 135) states that:
• analyse
• For example, an individual could literally learn all about Excel on YouTube by him/herself. By typing 'using Microsoft excel' into Google and selecting 'videos', more than 6,000 results show up. There are two sets of tutorials that systematically take the learner through the functions of Excel. One set, produced by Motion Training, contains nineteen tutorials called Microsoft Excel Tutorials for Beginners with another additional three tutorials for Excel VLOOKUP. Similarly, ExcellsFun has produced a series of 23 tutorials called Excel Basics. These two sets of tutorials, singly or in combination, would provide all the information to beginners who wish to learn about Excel. By going through two sets of tutorials, the individual would be able to look at different examples and different styles of presentation to effectively learn about the functions of Excel.

• The digital society is here, so what is digital citizenship? Just as we are citizens of a physical country, so are we citizens of the digital world. Just as we need to obey the laws, and not harm anyone, that same spirit exists in the digital world – and it impacts the physical world as well. The mean words and pictures that are posted online, can hurt people in their daily lives at school and in their community.
• But citizenship means more than behaving responsibly, it also means that we should be civically engaged: voting, keeping current and having our voice in political matters, and contributing to society. To this end, we need to get accurate information, and decide the verity of political messages that surround us. This same pro-active attitude and behavior also applies to the digital environment. Technology enables us to research significant social issues and to voice our opinions to a global audience.

• Digital identity is a psychological identity that prevails in the domains of cyberspace, and is defined as a set of data that uniquely describes a person or a thing (sometimes referred to as subject or entity) and contains information about the subject's relationships to other entities. The social identity that an internet user establishes through digital identities in cyberspace is referred to as online…

• We can’t be all things to everyone, but we can be everything to a select few.  So who we talk to, and how we talk to them matter.  Context matters.  And in the context of social media we have to develop a digital identity that is both true to ourselves and aware of our audience (everyone).

• • these are the some things that are part of the law

• While Internet users may think of personal information and photos on services like Gmail, Dropbox, Facebook and Twitter as their own, that information resides within easily accessible computers. In addition, Internet service providers such as AT&T and Verizon hold reams of data pertaining to customers' IP addresses, Web histories, geo-locations and personal information.

• Prensky defines digital natives as those born into an innate "new culture" while the digital immigrants are old-world settlers, who have lived in the analogue age and immigrated to the digital world.

• The Digital Natives project focuses on the key legal, social, and political implications of a generation “born digital” – those who grow up immersed in digital technologies, for whom a life fully integrated with digital devices is the norm.
• Through qualitative research, legal analysis, and collaboration with educators, we investigate how the culture of digital natives – a culture of connectivity, of public display, of sharing, of feedback, of constant availability and of global citizenship – impacts and will continue to impact our world. In particular, we focus on the influence upon institutions of education and government, while also extending inquiry to impacts on business, relationships, and mental health. Our research informs our mission to provide recommendations to educators and legislators for reforms that make the most of the exciting possibilities young people’s digital fluency presents, supports youth in navigating the difficult issues, and ultimately engages technology in ways that strengthen our social institutions.
