Digital Literacy and Traditional Literacy... One Big Family!

There has been debate after debate on the classroom topic of digital literacy. Some professionals think that digital literacy goes hand in hand with traditional literacy... however, other think not so much. I have to go with the first group. With the 21st century pressing forward, it is becoming apparent how technological our world is becoming. It is important that the students of tomorrow are digital literate along with being traditional literate. And in reality, how can you have one without the other. Students need to know how to find info while not using a computer or the internet, but they should also be taught how to de research while navigating the world wide web.
