Digital Smarts - Digital Readiness

The Pew Research Center recently embarked on a mission to survey the digital readiness of the American population. They defined digital readiness as: 1) the digital skills people have for using and sharing content on the internet, 2) the trust people have that they will be able to determine the validity of information online and safeguard personal information, and 3) the degree to which people use digital tools in the course of carrying out online tasks. The results of the survey are eye opening and can provide insight onto how schools should and will be using digital technologies in the near and distant future.
