Digital Literacy SKills Redux

Seth Godin has a post called "The Growing Productivity Divide" where he lists some basic digital literacy skills that incorporate social media tools.    Digital or Internet literacy skills are nothing new - my first introduction was over ten years when Doug Johnson developed the Mankato Scale.  I used to teach "Digital Literacy Workshops" in 1997 to introduce Web 1.0 skills to artists and educators.  What might be differnt if you were teaching this class today?

The Digital Literacy Toolkit began with the premise that multimedia authoring, which is happening with the extensive use of PowerPoint in classrooms, must be taught as a skill, just as traditional text-based writing is taught. While teachers and students have become familiar with the technical skills required to use images in multimedia productions, they lack a critical language to determine whether an image or a sound is used appropriately.
