Digital literacy is an individual's ability to find, evaluate, and communicate information using typing or digital media platforms. It is a combination of both technical and cognitive abilities in using information and communication technologies to create, evaluate, and share information.[1]
While digital literacy initially focused on digital skills and stand-alone computers, the advent of the internet and social media use has shifted some of its focus to mobile devices. Similar to other evolving definitions of literacy that recognize the cultural and historical ways of making meaning,[2] digital literacy does not replace traditional methods of interpreting information but rather extends the foundational skills of these traditional literacies.[3] Digital literacy should be considered a part of the path towards acquiring knowledge.[4]
