It involves a working knowledge of current high-technology, and an understanding of how it can be used.

      these are my notes
  • Schools are continually updating their curriculum for digital literacy to keep up with accelerating technological developments. This often includes computers in the classroom, the use of educational software to teach curriculum, and course materials being available to students, online. Some classrooms are designed to use smartboards and audience response systems.
