Really!!! who is digitally literate?
Digital literacy has been an important issue of discussion since long time. Its definition has been a problem like the problem to define who is young. (the age group). Do we know how to open an email account? can we take part in the second life sysytem having created our own avatar?
For me these are the two extreems of digital literacy. I could be some where in between; most likely near to the former. The most important questions are:
1. How much is it relelvant to acheive a level of digital literacy?
2. How cna one acheive that?
Gavein mentioned five criteria to meet for one to be called digitally literate
I have no idea about the criteria Gavin used. But, it is clear that this is not a standared assessement. I can feel that our answers also vary. The main point here is that Gavin mentioend the most important characteristic feature that we need to notice.
