THE 8 ELEMENTSOF DIGITAL LITERACIES
CuCultural
THE 8 ELEMENTS“The nature of literacy in a culture is repeatedly redefined as the result of technological changes.”
Hannon (2000)
THE 8 ELEMENTS“Functional internet literacy is not the ability to use a set of technical tools; rather, it is the ability to use a set of cognitive tools.”
CgCognitive
Johnson (2008)
THE 8 ELEMENTS“[Digital literacy is] the awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital tools...in order to enable constructive social action.”
CnConstructive
DigEuLit project (2006)
THE 8 ELEMENTS
CoCommunicative
“Digital literacy must therefore involve a systematic awareness of how digital media are constructed and of the unique 'rhetorics' of interactive communication.”
Buckingham (2007)
THE 8 ELEMENTS
“Modern society is increasingly looking to [people] who can confidently solve problems and manage their own learning throughout their lives, the very qualities which ICT supremely is able to promote.”
OECD (2001)
CfConfident
THE 8 ELEMENTS
“The creative adoption of new technology requires teachers who are willing to take risks... a prescriptive curriculum, routine practices... and a tight target-setting regime, is unlikely to be helpful.”
Conlon & Simpson (2003)
CrCreative
THE 8 ELEMENTS
“Once we see that online texts are not exactly written or spoken, we begin to understand that cyberliteracy requires a special form of critical thinking. Communication in the online world is not quite like anything else.”
Gurak (2001)

THE 8 ELEMENTSCiCivic
“The ability to understand and make use of ICT - digital literacy - is proving essential to employment success, civic participation, accessing entertainment, and education.”
Mehlman (2007)
“ Digital literacy is a condition, not a threshold.
