New Terms Associated with "Digital Literacy"

"Digital immigrants" - please note that this term has nothing to do with immigration at all.

"Internet natives" - people who werre born in the digital age and grrew up with computer and Internet.

"Digital storytelling" - Use images, audio, and other multmedia to tell historical story. It is similar to "documentary film" in a way. It is a new narrative form for "telling."

"Digital readers" - do not read books or print materials. Use the digital formats for serious and leisure reading.

"Audiovisual citzenship" and "media citizenship" - such as social networks. People use technology as the means to communicate and interact with others including blogs, video games; definitely no pencil and paper.
