The document discusses the importance of developing digital literacy skills in students. It defines both traditional and digital literacies, with digital literacies involving multimedia, digital storytelling, and being able to effectively consume and produce digital content. Developing these skills is said to help students become more creative, engaged thinkers by allowing them to communicate and tell their own stories using appropriate technologies.

New Zealand Curriculum
Making meaning of ideas or information they receive.
(listening, reading, and viewing)
Creating meaning for themselves or others
(speaking, writing, and presenting).

9. Literacy is:
...the making of meaning and its clear communication to
others. Truly literate people not only read and write,
but regularly do so in order to sort out their ideas and
put them into words, to fit them together and test
hypothesis - i.e. to make sense and meaning out of our
world. Truly literate people acknowledge that they need
to write things down, to talk them out, to read widely, to
listen critically and respond articulately. Truly literate
people are thinkers and learners.”
