What are digital literacies in today’s world?  Have we moved past information literacy alone?  What other digital skills do our students need for personal, professional, and civic lives in the emerging digital ecosystem that is fundamentally shaped by networks and that is increasingly driven by data and algorithms that personalize information for users and inform human judgment?

What standards or frameworks do you use?  Here are a few examples:
