Digital literacy is not about the skills of using technologies, but how we use our judgment to maintain awareness of what we are reading and writing, why we are doing it, and whom we are addressing.
I believe that digital literacy is co-dependent on the individual's own views, norms, and experiences. Therefore, it is important to teach digital skills while teaching those important aspects of digital literacies that they might not have been aware of such as privacy, when to post and talk about a certain issue and when not to, who to address, etc.
