What's digital literacy? - Jessica Campos
Digital literacy involves using digital technologies and communication tools to find, evaluate, use, and create information. It requires the ability to read and interpret various media formats, reproduce data through digital manipulation, and apply new knowledge gained online. Digital literacy is important for society as it allows people to access public services, shop, and communicate virtually. It also enhances employment options and enables active engagement in the digital world. For education, teachers must be aware of how students use technologies in daily life and have standards for technology use, knowledge creation, and 21st century skills like collaboration and problem solving.

The Time is Now 5-8-2017
The Grafton Public Library Planning and Building Committee provided an update on plans to expand and renovate the library. They presented a conceptual design that is 14% smaller than a previous 2011 plan. To receive a state grant, the new library must house 85,000 items, seat 100 people and provide parking. Committee projections show rising library use and a need for more public computers and a meeting room. The proposed expansion would cost $16.6 million total but the town's cost would be $10 million after a $6.6 million state grant. The committee argued this is the best option financially and for the community's library needs.

Editor's Notes
- Tools and toys in new technologies have burgeoned over the last 20 years, and so has our understanding of what literacy is and can be. Awareness of what it takes to be an active and engaged participant in society has changed; so libraries have changed the way they understand, promote and support literacy. Libraries have provided collections, programs and services in support of traditional literacy skills for centuries. Today, ideas of what literacy is include digital, information and communication technology (ICT), media, programming, and visual. Reading and understanding information is vital. In all these literacies, users are required to produce new knowledge from their informed conclusions and to share that new knowledge with their communities. Libraries of all types promote the development of literacy skills in numerous ways: information literacy classes in colleges and universities, gaming programs to promote problem solving and the development of higher order thinking skills in public libraries, and other services that improve technical and literary fluency. Regardless of the type of service libraries may provide, they are all important in strengthening these multiple literacies. There is no doubt that gaming and literacy go hand-in-hand. If you can’t read, you can’t play. Games come with instructions, menus, and more. Learning the language and mechanics of any game, from chess to Little Big Planet, involves acquiring a new vocabulary.
