They do not constitute any sort of literacy unto themselves. A child may be proficient at using a form of technology while remaining clueless about the authority of information accessed via that technology. A second concern I have with the implied parity of digital literacy and information literacy is that "digital literacy" seems substantially Western-centric-- don't have the gizmos? Guess you're not literate! Haven't we made this mistake often enough already?Knit1Purl2https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932548685478925698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-22043765406275123882010-05-03T06:20:23.611+08:002010-05-03T06:20:23.611+08:00Of course you are right Diane - information litera...Of course you are right Diane - information literacy exists with or without technology tools. The criticism of the FutureLab document, however, is possibly misplaced. Rather we should be excited that a document specifically looking at digital literacies has at last recognised the vital elements that information literacy contributes. As you know, this has not always been the case! Yes, let's continue to promote information literacy,but also let's be excited when we see information literacy related/incorporated/acknowledged/promoted more widely.Judy O'Connellhttp://heyjude.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798440099232048221.post-9022075748229772842010-05-01T17:42:45.431+08:002010-05-01T17:42:45.431+08:00Information literacy is NOT just digital informati...Information literacy is NOT just digital information.
