Digital Literacies
Becoming digitally literate is a necessity in the 21st century for nearly all professionals. To what extent one becomes digitally literate can vary greatly. I can remember my first year of college not even owning a computer and now I can't live without my laptop! The majority of our students are entering elementary school already tech savvy! Since being digitally literate is practically a requirement in the real world, we owe it to our students to model and teach them digital literacy.
By the way, what does the word "blog" mean anyway?

the term blog is short for web log. Maybe I should said that in class? :)
I agree Rebecca! Actually I think alot of these kids are more digitally literate than me...scary!
You are absolutely right, Rebecca. Many of our students will be entering school being more tech savvy than we are! I think our big job then, will be to teach them how to utilize the world of digital technolgy in a responsible way.
