“The new classroom should teach the huge array of complex skills that come under the heading of digital literacy.”
Response:
With the evolution of technology a separation has occurred among our society. This separation used to just be in terms of pop culture and entertainment, but it has taken on a much larger position. It has taken a bigger role in our economy, and what used to be a luxury is now quickly becoming a necessity. Without proper education on these tools the separation will only get bigger and it won’t just be those that know it and those that don’t, it will be those with a future and those who get left behind.
