What is Digital Literacy?

Digital Literacy is the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate,

create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills. ~ ALA

Digital Literate vs. Digital Fluency

Being ‘digitally literate’ means having the skills to make and create meaning, and select the right technologies to do so. Being digitally fluent however, requires the ability to not only select the right technology but also know what to do with the tools, and be able to explain why they work in the way they do and how they might adapt what they do if the context changes.
