Digital Literacy is here to stay... What can we do about it?
There is more to digital literacy than text to voice dictation, e-books and free websites. We need to examine the benefits of assistive technology and communicate. We need to listen to our students and colleagues and explore the various ways technology can be used to strengthen passion projects and developing skill sets.

* Exploration of new and differentiated information
* Representation of information to highlight strengths and understanding
* Express learning with infectious sense of flare personal accomplishment
* Engagement- Differentiated methods of learning explored highlighting multiple levels of intelligence.
