I would want to stress many points about digital literacy but if I had to narrow it down to 3 main points they would be:
1. the capability to use digital technology and knowing when and how to use it
2. the precautions that all technology users must take to guarantee their personal safety and the security of their network
3. the privileges and freedoms extended to all digital technology users, and the behavioural expectations that come with them
I have seen it in the news and media all too often about cyber bullying and the affects they can have on people. 6th graders are all too naive and perhaps by showing them some brief documentaries of these might be helpful. Using digital technology is also a priviledge. By signing digial use contracts, much as science safety contracts, I think students will take a more personal responsibilty towards computer use.
