Digital Literacy instruction is no longer an option for students. Instead, national and state standards, online assessments and the proliferation of computing devices in the classroom require our students be technology proficient by eighth grade, if not earlier. Plus, our students’ careers depend upon their ability to understand and harness digital tools.
