  • Top 10 Benefits of Digital Literacy
  • 10 – It Saves Time: Being digitally literate can save minutes and hours per week for tasks that could only be done offline in the past.
  • 9 – You Learn Faster: When I was in middle school my teacher used to encourage us to read our books with a dictionary right next to us.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • 8 – You Save Money: This benefit should be the most obvious - between coupon codes, daily deal sites, comparison shopping sites and mobile apps, today’s consumer is more informed than ever to not only get the best product, but also get the best price.
  • 7 – It Makes You Safer: For all the talk about the Internet being a dangerous place, it actually does a great deal of everyday good that often goes unnoticed. Whether you need tips on staying safe in a foreign country on vacation, ways to make your house more secure or getting the fastest route to the nearest hospital, you can find it all in the digital world.
  • 6 – It Keeps You Informed: Ignorance is bliss. Once you have knowledge it is hard not to crave more. In the “old” days adults would rush home to watch their favorite TV anchor on the 6 o’clock news. Today, everyone has their favorite news site they check daily. From the Huffington Post to the New York Times, we not only crave information, but we require it.
  • 3 – It Can Keep You Employed: The world runs on computers. If you have ever witnessed the cash machine go down at a grocery store, gas station or restaurant you’ll realize how dependent we are on computers.
  • 4 – You’ll Make Better Decisions: When you have limited ways to get information, your choices are also limited. Digital literacy allows you to search, study, analyze and compare the vast resources available to you.
  • 5 – It Keeps You Connected: When social media took off, many people started to debate the effects it was having on “real” relationships. While some of the concern is certainly valid, people have always had certain levels of relationships way before the Web was popular.
  • 2 – It Makes You Happier (LOL): No matter how serious or technically advanced the world gets, humans will always love a good laugh. From Pinterest to Tumblr, there is an animated GIF, picture or video out there to make someone laugh.
  • 1 – YOU Can Influence the World: Thousands of babies are born around the world in major cities each day. You never will know who will be the next great leader. Through politics, religion, activism and even entertainment, people have brought change to places they didn’t know existed.

  • Teachers are worried that young people are not being equipped to tell the difference. The 500 teachers polled rated their pupils’ ability to recognise bias, apply fact checks and verify sources to be below average.
  • For digital literacy to be embraced, teachers have to be equipped with the resources, training and precious time to teach it.

  • it is cheap – the actual service is free but users pay a minimal data charge to their mobile providers – and it operates in the evenings, when learners need help with homework. For many children in South Africa, this is the most qualified tutor that they will have access to.
  • (IM) chats
  • In many countries, mobiles are the only channel for effectively distributing reading material, given the high cost of books and their distribution, especially to rural areas
  • Reading on a mobile device is different to reading in print. Mobile devices offer interactivity, the ability for readers to comment on content, the ability to connect with other readers and to publicly ask questions and receive support. Mobile devices can be used to deliver appropriate and personalized content, in ways that print books cannot
  • South Africa-founded service not only allows its mostly young users to stay in touch by text chatting, it also facilitates live tutoring on maths homework.

  •  Worldreader has provided school children in a number of developing countries with access to digital books through donated Kindle e-readers. Recently, it has begun to publish the books via a mobile phone-based e-reader.
  • A core feature of mobiles is that they support ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning
  • Because they are personal and always at hand, they are perfectly suited to support informal and contextual learning.
