Digital Literacy is...
Digital literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, utilize, and create information using digital technology. As a Cornell student, activities including writing papers, creating multimedia presentations, and posting information about yourself or others online are all a part of your day-to-day life, and all of these activities require varying degrees of digital literacy. Is simply knowing how to do these things enough? No-there's more to it than that.
A very well done site. Although I am left wondering why they call it "digital" literacy when it is mainly about scholarship and academic levels of literacy in a world that happens to be networked.
