Considering the potential of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs), skills such as reaching, interpreting, understanding, reconstructing, and sharing information have become fundamental responsibilities of citizens for a democratic society (Aufderheide, 1993; Christ & Potter, 1998) (Simsek & Simsek, 2013, p. 126).
It is interesting that they connect digital literacy to democracy. I wondered if that would motivate more teachers to instruct students in the digital literacies, if the understood the necessity for future participation in society.
