Prepare: The concepts “digital literacy” and “media literacy” are often used interchangeably and you may also see them written as “digital media literacy.” For this course, we identify with the concepts separately; however, we consider them interdependent of each other. Read the Introduction and Chapter 1 of the textbook, then read The Intersection of Digital and Media Literacy.
 
Reflect IconReflect: Now that you have read the materials on digital and media literacy, you should have a better understanding of them and how they work together. Considering the elements of each concept, think of a few examples that illustrate how not being digitally or media literate may negatively influence your personal or professional life.
 
Write Icon

Write: Choose one of the examples that you thought of and write a 250- to 300-word response that discusses how you feel not being digitally or media literate can affect your life. In your initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a scholarly source that you locate in the Ashford University Library or from another credible source. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in the body of your post. All citations and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Check It! Your post must be submitted through Grammarly prior to submission.

 
Discuss IconRespond to Peers: After you have written your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two others about their reflections on the impact of not being digitally or media literate. Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and 150 words in length, and you must include your name at the end of each response
