Discussion for Tuesday

For Tuesday's discussion we will talk about digital literacy. You can read up on any resource regarding this topic. The following are some guide questions which can serve as a springboard for our discussion. They are:
1. What is your understanding of digital literacy? How do you define it? Ddoes it make use of a new medium? Characterize this medium.
2. When you talk of digital literacy, what is meant by the medium being "volatile?" As a case in point contrast a printed book with the digital medium. Comment on theidea of "intellectual property" in relation to this digital medium.
3. What does multimedia literacy do? What did it change in terms of Western cultural history?
