What is Literacy in the Digital Age?
It is every parent’s dream and wish that their children be more successful and prosperous than they were. This is true yet today. The parents of children born into the “Digital Age” want their children to be more successful and prosperous than they were. To that end, we in the state of Colorado, offer this living document of how the generation of the “Post Industrial Age” will pass on our knowledge, culture and beliefs to the new generation of the “Digital Age” .
Definition:
“Literacy In The Digital Age” includes communication, critical thinking, collaboration, creating new knowledge, sharing, cultural awareness and ethics.
Our children will need to choose and use the tools of the age to create communities of learning and be independent not dependent. This will allow our children to become the generation that moves beyond the “Industrial Age” where a person who had acquired simple reading, writing, and calculating skills was considered literate.

The State Educational Technology Director's Association (SETDA) has created a working definition for Technology Literacy. This can be used by states and districts as a starting point.
