We use technology every day of our lives: Communication via email,
information acquisition on the Internet, and file sharing (i.e. photos,
documents, movies, etc.). Regular tasks as well as tasks related to specific job functions require digital proficiency or literacy. Digital literacy can be defined as "the ability to use digital technology, communications tools, and/or
networks to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information in order to function in a knowledge society" (Lemke, 2003). The need for
students to build digital skills is increasingly more important in an age where technology and its uses are becoming more sophisticated and widespread.
