If students are "glued" 24/7 to their mobile devices, why is it necessary for schools to teach digital literacy? Who should teach it? And wait ... what does it even mean to be "digitally literate"? If these are questions you've heard or asked, you aren't alone.

We might think that our students are digital literate, but are they? Take a look at your classroom, school, and district...are we preparing them to this 21st century digital technology awareness. Why aren't educators ready?

Ana, it sure is! I most definitely agree with you because I know of many teachers that are scared to incorporate technology into their classrooms. It is mostly because they are scared (of misuse--by students). Also, they feel that they are not properly trained and they don't find the time to use technology. Most educators think it is a waste of time. As years go by I am seeing that students now a day get extremely motivated when they get to use technology in their classrooms and they sure learn a lot of information. Great that your school brought someone to talk to students about digital safety!

How can educators get help in incorporating technology into their lessons? Students want the technology to be available, teachers think it is a waste of time...Educators are not updated...

It would be overwhelming indeed. An educator should introduce digital literacy as if the student is new to the topic. Through hands-on activities and daily use, students should become great digital experts with tools they love.
