Summary

1. What I discovered from this week's video "The essential elements of digital literacies" and the reading "Dawn of new literacies" were the eight essential elements that make up new literacies. These elements include Cognitive (Cg), Constructive (Cn), Communicative (Co), Civic (Ci), Critical (Ct), Creative (Cr), Confident (Cf), and Cultural (Cu).

2. Literacy is the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential. It's a process that teaches us how the world is changing, and it highlights the importance of having a job to succeed. We gain knowledge through reading and experiencing life itself.

3. We can integrate their definitions into the concept of new literacies quite seamlessly. Understanding and embracing literacy is already a significant aspect of our daily lives. It plays a crucial role in educating students through new technology.

4. I find digital literacy to be incredibly valuable in today's world. It simplifies so much in terms of accessing information, managing personal experiences, attending classes, and making online payments. It's quite different from the past when you had to physically visit places like libraries for books or send payments through mail. Digital literacy not only saves time but also suits my preference as someone who tends to be more conservative. It streamlines many aspects of daily life, making it more convenient and efficient.

5. Yes, all the time. Usually, the issue is generally easy but there seems to be confusion most of the time.

6. Digital literacy is a crucial skill in today's world because nearly everything is accessible on the internet. Without internet literacy, accessing information and knowledge might not be as easy as it once was.
