In “Literacy and the digital knowledge revolution” (2006), Claire Belisle refers to “digital knowledge”, as a way that knowledge can be “processed and transformed”, by the various technological tools, i.e. search engines, databases, sorters and linguistic analysts, that we have available (Belisle, 2006, p57). Belisle moves in to the revouloution
Literacy- believes that literacy is the basis of knowledge acquisition and, with the stronger interaction between humans and technology and the way we acquire and interpret information and data from the latter, digital literacy needs to be incorporated into our current literacy structure. According to Paul Gilster, digital literacy is comprised of these four components- assembling knowledge, evaluating information and searching and navigating in non-linear routes (Gilster, 1997). By adding critical thinking to digital literacy, one can then open up pathways to “digital knowledge”.
Tools- Belisle refers to “digital knowledge”, as a way that knowledge can be “processed and transformed”, by the various technological tools, i.e. search engines, databases, sorters and linguistic analysts, that we have available (Belisle, 2006, p57 The classroom and the way students and teachers interact, has been radically changed with the advent of computers, the web and other technological tools. Students from every age group are increasingly using the internet to give them information and datathese devices to study
