The ability to locate, organize, understand, evaluate, and create information in multiple formats from a wide range of sources when it is presented through computers.

Are you digitally literate? I have five or more friends who I met on the Net I check my email first thing in the morning I share my digital photos online for friends and family I often use my credit card to pay online I often download or buy music online I read at least five blogs a day I post comments on other people’s blogs

I have my own blog that I update regularly I am a member of at least one social networking site I often chat with friends / colleagues via instant messaging software I often share amusing websites / videos with friends and colleagues I’ve edited a Wikipedia entry I use my mobile phone primarily for texting I get my news online, not from a newspaper I met my partner online
