I don't think we should forget about digital literacy, or the related set of associated literacies (there's a useful chart in the article). Digital literacy is "a curious amalgam of relatively straightforward skills and much more complex combinations of skills with knowledge, attitudes and dispositions... we would find things like the ability to use tags, hashtags, search engines, and filters (and) the ability to recognise fake news or to understand how and why personally targeted advertising is such a money-spinner." I haven't forgotten that I want to write up my thoughts on this. Time, though. Always time.
