My First Attempt to Define How I See Digital Literacies

Near the end of the #etmooc session/talk by  Dr. Doug Belshaw on  Digital Literacies we were asked to start to define how we saw "digital literacies" based on his 8 elements. 




Here's my attempt:
Digital literacies are a web of elements that interact and support one another, they are to be viewed in a cultural context. They are developed by having confidence to commmunicate about, to think about, and to create content (text, image, video and other media). They are refined by the ability and opportunity to think critially about the content others create.  They ideally lead to a civic/global responsibility and to a connected individual who contributes something meaningful.
