The Digital Skills
          Divide:
  Closing the Gap

- The Digital Divide
- Literacy What?
- Resources
The 21st
century is
when
everything
changes.
And we have
to be ready.
-Captain Jack Harkness,
Torchwood
The future is here it
is just not evenly
distributed
-William Gibson
The Digital Divide
One third of Americans do
not have broadband at home
Who Has Access?
• less than 33% of the poorest
  Americans
• less than 50% of African
  Americans
• less than 50% Latinos
• less than 50% of the elderly
• less than 50% of rural
  populations
students
with a
computer &
broadband
at home
have a
6 to 8 %
higher GPA
It is about far
        more than
         access to
      technology,
it is about using
technology well.
We are floating
  (or sinking)
in an ocean of
  technology.
The illiterate of the
21st century will not
   be those who
  cannot read and
        write,
   but those who
       cannot
  learn, unlearn,
    and relearn.
       - Alvin Toffler
Closing the Digital Skills Gap
We are exposed to more
mediated messages in one day
 than our great-grandparents
   were exposed to in a year
         -Center for Media Literacy
Digital Literacy
66 million
Americans are
     without
  basic digital
 literacy skills
    -Usdan 2012
You keep using that word.
  I do not think it means
 what you think it means.

  Four
Aspects
   Of
 Digital
Literacy
Tool Skills
and Access
Authorship
   and
 Creation
Representation
Social
responsibility
and
digital
citizenship
Transliteracy
the ability to read, write and
     interact across a range of
platforms, tools and media from
    signing and orality through
handwriting, print, TV, radio and
 film, to digital social networks.
Closing the Digital Skills Gap
Other
Considerations
If anyone can
claim to be an
    Expert,
  What is an
    expert?
Privacy
…much of what gets posted
on any given day is
in public but not for the public.
- Shirky
Remember
technology is
   only a
   TOOL
Libraries
   Are
Powerful
Partners
Libraries are
the place where all literacies
       meet and mix
