Abstract
-
The article argues that traditional ideas of literacy are too narrow for the digital age because they focus mainly on technical skills and information use, ignoring social, cultural, and ideological aspects. It proposes a broader view of digital literacy that encourages critical thinking about how media represents reality, who produces it, and how audiences interpret it. It also highlights the value of digital media production in classrooms for developing these skills, while noting challenges like unequal access to technology. Overall, it concludes that digital literacy should be part of a wider rethinking of literacy and the role of technology in education.
