Cultural - We need to pay attention to the culture in which the literacies are situated
Cognitive - We can’t just consider the procedural ways in which we use devices and programs. It’s the way we think when we’re using them
Constructive - We can’t be passive consumers of technology/information. We should strive to use digital tools in reflective and appropriate ways
Communicative - Digital tools and power structures change the way we communicate. An element of digital literacy is how we take command of that structure and use it to communicate effectively and contribute meaningfully
Confident – in order to be a proficient user of technology, one must have the courage and confidence to dive into the unknown, take risks, make mistakes, and display confidence when “messing around” with new tools
Creative – from his research, Doug says “…..the creative adoption of new technology requires teachers who are willing to take risks… a prescriptive curriculum, routine practices… and a tight target-setting regime, is unlikely to be helpful.” Conlon & Simpson (2003)
Critical - Digital literacy involves an understanding of how to deal with hyperspace and hypertext and understanding it’s “not entirely read or spoken.” Can we critically evaluate the technologies we’re using?
Civic - many schools are beginning to embrace technology to improve our lives and the lives of others in the world
