Resources for Digital Literacy

Just as many parts of education, many people have presented their own take on Digital and Informational literacy Click here to see the NCTEs stance on Digital Literacy, which discusses questions to ask when evaluating students' literacy, the societal demands for digital literacy, and the benefits of placing importance on increasing literacy.

This resource by NCTE is super extensive and provides questions that I considered when developing my own lesson for digital literacy. Evaluating resources and determining how to ethically collect information is vital in an English classroom, which is usually the place where students are expected to learn these skills for higher education purposes.

CommonCraft discusses several types of sources that students will evaluate, as well as the difference between primary and secondary sources in a short video, which you can view in the link.

In addition to taking the above resources, please also check out MediaLit, DigCit, and CommonSense for standards of digital literacy and information literacy to incorporate into your own lessons.
