Digital Literacy
In the 21st century, we have access to so much information that information overload can be a problem. Another issue that comes along with the overabundance of information available on the internet is reliability. Anyone can put information online, so we must be careful to assess materials for accuracy and authenticity. We must also remember when putting our own information online that we each leave a digital footprint and we should think carefully about any information we share. Finally, we need to be careful when posting and interacting with others online and display good digital citizenship in all that we do.
