I think students need to be encouraged more to be creative when creating content online or offline.

This is a good statement, emphasizes online collaborative inquiry and online content construction helps students develop media skills.

I agree with this

We can see schools today that are barely funded and lacking the new technologies for learning. This effects the children in these schools and their academic career.

I think that this is important to note that tradition education is lacking many things to engage students more.

There is a big emphasis on relationships outside of the formal classroom.

Encouragement and support from teachers, peers, and family is very important to the development of a child.

Clearly stated definition of "connected learning"

Very good article that explains in depth the concept of and behind web literacy.

Main points:

• Research Findings
• Web literacy skills one may possess

Promising Trends Consist of:

• Ensuring digital literacy for all.
• Teaching computer and programming skills to children and young people.
• Facilitate the development of digital skills needed for the ICT profession.
• Foster 'soft' and 'complementary' digital skills.

We as a society are seeing more technology being brought into the classroom. My opinion on this goes both ways, it is good and bad. It is good for students to interact with technology and use other resources that are accessible to them as students. But this technology can be a distraction to some and can take away from the traditional skills children learn in the classroom such as reading a paperback book, or writing notes, etc.

Concept #5 Digital Literacy

Concept #4 of Digital Literacy

Concept #3 of Digital Literacy

• audiences are different depending on the content you find on the internet

Concept #2 of Digital Literacy:

• Digital content is permanent, and many forget about this all the time.
• So that is why parents, educators, and peers emphasize to be careful what you post on the internet because it could come back to hurt you, later in your life time.

Key Concept #1 of Digital Literacy

Good definition of "create". This I can see also relates to creativity, which is important for our future students to be creative and unique.

I believe that this is a crucial part of the digital literacy model. If one does not understand how to make informed decisions about what we do online, we as humans could potential get ourselves in trouble, so to speak.

Good definition of what "use" is on the digital literacy model

The model above is a great visual representation of what digital literacy is!

This relates back to how we use technology in the classroom, and also how it is a great tool we as a society are lucky to have.

These actions are things we as a society do everyday. They are extremely influential and are inevitable in todays society.

This statement emphasizes the need for understanding that everyone is not perfect, we are humans. Humans acquire knowledge over time through experience, not everyone is born with prominent technology skills.

Today's society focuses solely on the media because it is so prevalent, so this does create a demand for knowledge. So I significantly agree with this statement.
