7. Digital literacy IS a necessity and NOT an option. It is a skill set needed by many in our society, not merely a select few. It cannot and must not be reserved only for the young, who apparently "have no fear" when it comes to technology. Both digital immigrants (the older generation) as well as digital natives must learn, practice, and continually strive to improve their digital literacy skills. If the Internet represents a digital frontier, we are its pioneers, and the challenges we will encounter on our "virtual trail drives" are likely to be numerous as well as unpredictable.

24. Media Literacy Education for media literacy often uses an inquiry-based pedagogic model that encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, hear, and read. Media literacy education provides tools to help people critically analyze messages, offers opportunities for learners to broaden their experience of media, and helps them develop creative skills in making their own media messages.

25. Media Literacy "Web 2.0 tools and ubiquitous access to the Internet on mobile devices have transformed the way we gather, understand, and create information and, ultimately, how we build knowledge. These dramatic changes have fundamentally altered how we work, play, and interact with each other, yet are not widely reflected in schools. Media Literacy sets out to remedy that by providing a clear and logical framework around which educators can build curriculum that systematically teaches the media literacy skills kids need to make sense of and thrive in tomorrow’s digital, interactive, global village." Frank Gallagher, Executive DirectorCable in the Classroom

26. Media Literacy Media refers to all electronic or digital means and print or artistic visuals used to transmit messages.
