Our sincerest apologies for the youtube link to a liberal promotion in a message you received this morning. It was unintentional – the hyperlink did not attach properly and we failed to check the link before sending the message.

The blooper is ironically at a time when we are raising awareness about digital literacy and featuring it for the month of May with discussions, webinars and a 5 day professional development workshop.

We appreciate a blog post by Jenny in response to the email, discussing the complexities involved with being digitally literate. She asks, how does digital literacy address the political, ethical, educational, psychological, cognitive, cultural, and technological aspects of this event? What do you think? >reply
