The Digital Literacy Project

Many believe today's students are digital natives savvy enough to use the Internet and other modern technologies. However, today's student has to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to search, retrieve, and evaluate sources of information on the Internet. In addition, they have to learn to examine sources like previous generations had to learn how to read for information and interrogate literature.
