Critical digital literacy to me is the ability to look critically at an online work, to not only understand what the content means but what the author or publisher wants you to believe. This definition has allowed me to find biases in published works and to acknowledge those biases. This course is about learning how to teach digital literacy to students and to keep future teachers informed of the latest tools and approaches to achieve this. Being able to think critically is a vital component to being an excellent lifelong learner, it will push you to look for a deeper meaning in the works. If a teacher were to accept all that they are told without trying to learn more about it, they wouldn’t be an outstanding teacher in my mind; a teacher should want to learn as much as they can on what interests their students. For this knowledge will help the teacher engage their students in lessons and activities during class hours.
