4. What is Digital Fluency?
According to 21cif.com, only 2%
of new information created
today appears in print format.
As a result, Digital Information
Fluency – the ability to locate,
evaluate and ethically use that
information – is fast becoming a
skill as essential as traditional
print literacy has been.

5. Why Promote Digital Fluency?
1. It’s essential, but
students don’t practice
it (because we don’t
emphasize it)
2. Employers implicitly
expect it
