DIGITAL LITERACY: TAKEN FROM WIKI (will put into own words when writing script) 

Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and analyze information using digital technology. It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used. Further, digital literacy involves a consciousness of the technological forces that affect culture and human behavior.  Digitally literate people can communicate and work more efficiently, especially with those who possess the same knowledge and skills.


Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smart boards and audience response systems. These techniques are most effective when the teacher is digitally literate, as well.


Teachers often teach digital literacy skills to students who use computers for research. Such skills include verifying credible sources Online and how to cite Web sites. Google and Wikipedia are used by students "for everyday life research."
Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software and, more prevalently, to prevent plagiarism amongst students.


Global Impact
Government officials around the world have emphasized the importance of digital literacy for their economy. According to HotChalk, an Online resource for educators: "Nations with centralized education systems, such as China, are leading the charge and implementing digital literacy training programs faster than anyone else. For those countries, the news is good."
