Digital Literacy Activities
Abstract
In an increasingly technological-focused environment, it is paramount that library instructors infuse digital literacy skills into their teaching. Librarians as information professionals are in a prime position to impart digital literacy skills into patrons. This not only creates a more exciting lesson plan but also has the potential to teach students necessary digital literacy skills that are transferable beyond their schoolwork. In this chapter, the author examines the position of digital literacy in instruction and as a way to build employable skills. Examples of digital literacy activities' that can be incorporated into information literacy instruction sessions no matter the length of the session are also offered. These activities include digital footprint tracking, games, and website building. The chapter also discusses the assessment of these activities which evaluated the students perceived value of the information and skills learned from the digital literacy activities.
