https://diigo.com/07taik This article responds to the question of why students nowadays are increasingly digital literate. Students do not become digitally literate because they want to if not because they have to,the world is pushing our children to. The use of web 2.0 tools in the classroom makes it easier for the students of this generation to become digital literate. My concern is the frustration while learning the use of this tools.

I don't think that the comment is exaggerated. Students come to our classrooms with a knack for digital literacy. I think they are called digital natives for a reason. I agree that there is some level of frustration as we all learn to learn and incorporate these new tools into our curriculum. However, there is always a level of uneasiness as we venture into something new. If we are going to think and work outside of the box, then we have to expect some failures as we climb to the top!

Ana, thank you for your response. I had never heard the term digital natives. I guess in technology we always have to be ready for the unexpected.

Mayra, Gladys shared an article called "What Digital Literacy Look Like in a Classroom" on the 16th. There they mention three terms: -Digital Native -Digital Immigrant -Digital Literate In regards to your question. I do not think exaggeration is the case here. I do think students are becoming increasingly digital literate because technology is being utilize more and more each day. Students are exposed to new ways of teaching using technology.
