What makes someone fully literate (not digital)?
- Understanding what you are reading beyond just knowing the meaning of the words themselves. Understanding context.
- The way you are supposed to be reading it (how to approach the medium)
- Understanding how to be prepared to read what you’re about to read (needing to know historical and/or cultural context).
- Have to be open-minded or prepared to encounter things that you might not necessarily agree with.
- Being able to write so that other people can understand you and/or your message.

What are some outlets you can use to demonstrate your personal full digital literacy?
