Digital Literacy
I think that digital literacy should be a requirement for students during their first year of high school or even before. I am not sure if it is already, but I think that it definitely should be. I think it is of high importance that students are able to critically look at the information that they find on the Internet. Last class we talked about the different websites that appear to be real. If many of us were not on alert, we too may have been fooled. Unfortunately I was not introduced to critically looking at information until grad school. With the NCLB laws shadowing every teacher I wonder if their is any way that digital literacy can be incorporated into what is taught in the classroom.
