Where does this topic fit? Internet concepts – Applications – Technology – Implications Internet skills – Application development – Content creation – User skills

The pioneers What skills and concepts are needed for success as a student and after graduation as a professional and a citizen? John Kemeny Thomas Kurtz

Which skills and concepts to include? ? The answer changes over time because IT platforms change What is my answer (for now) I’d like to hear your answers.

Summary What skills and concepts are needed for success as a student and after graduation as a professional and a citizen? John Kemeny Thomas Kurtz

Self-study questions Without looking back, can you identify the four changing IT platforms we reviewed? What are the three skill areas included in the Internet era digital literacy curriculum? Give an example of each. What are the conceptual areas included in the Internet era digital literacy curriculum? Give an example of each. Do you recall the categories of skills and concepts covered in our current digital literacy course? Mobile devices and applications are becoming important. How might that trend effect the digital literacy curriculum?
