What struck me?
“Digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a
key skill in every discipline and profession. This challenge,
first noted in 2008, reflects universal agreement among
those on the Horizon Project Advisory Board. Although
there is broad consensus that digital media literacy is vitally
important for today’s students, what skills constitute digital
literacy are still not well-defined nor universally taught.
Teacher preparation programs are beginning to include
courses related to digital media literacy, and universities are
beginning to fold these literacy skills into coursework for
students, but progress continues to be slow. The challenge
is exacerbated by the fact that digital technologies morph
and change quickly at a rate that generally outpaces
curriculum development.”
