those which are biased -and therefore should be avoided . - While this may be ideal in an alternative setting , bias is unavoidable , and information will always correlate with ideology . Therefore , Fabos suggests that rather than trying to avoid bias , students should comprehend the political , social and economic contexts that mold the information into what it has become , and how they should evaluate these texts to use for different purposes .
In correlation to Fabos ’ argument , digital literacy education needs to go beyond the basics of using different technological items , and extend into a deeper set of skills including but not limited to : location and selection of material , the use of different search engines and hyperlinks , critical evaluation of information in the process of forming knowledge , and a broader understanding of the technological developments they benefit from . In an ideal case , students will be able to derive useful knowledge from this education and adapt it to various fields in their lives , such as academics , everyday life , work , and social settings .
In conclusion , I remind that digital literacy extends beyond the basic skill set every member of the modern society may claim to have , and requires a more dedicated and ambitious approach in order to be implemented into children ’ s education . Though we may be in a new digital era where everything seems to be changing , even from this article it can be understood that one thing hasn ’ t , and that is the need for education in the upbringing of literate , aware individuals .
