Digital Literacy

14. 4 Principles Of Digital Literacy
1. Comprehension
The first principle of digital literacy is simply
comprehension–the ability to extract implicit and explicit
ideas from a media.
2. Interdependence
The second principle of digital literacy is
interdependence–how one media form connects with
another, whether potentially, metaphorically, ideally, or
literally.

15. • 3. Social Factors
Sharing is no longer just a method of
personal identity or distribution, but rather can
create messages of its own. Who shares what
to whom through what channels can not only
determine the long-term success of the
media, but can create organic ecosystems of
sourcing, sharing, storing, and ultimately
repackaging media.

16. 4. Curation
Storing, overt storage of favored content
through platforms such as pinterest,
pearltrees, pocket and others is one method of
“save to read later.”
But more subtly, when a video is collected
in a YouTube channel, a poem ends up in a
blog post, or an infographic is pinned to
pinterest or stored on a learnist board, that is
also a kind of literacy as well–the ability to
understand the value of information, and keep
it in a way that makes it accessible and useful
long-term.

professional development of teachers and
trainers.
