The terminology (and conceptualization) of "digital literacy" has its origin
(I would expect) in the very well developed area of "media literacy".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy , precisely what needs to be
added to achieve"digital literacy" has been and remains the subject of
considerable debate.

Subject: [Advisors] How do you teach digital literacy -- CIRA forum
So here is the posting on that CIRA site under digital literacy. This (TC)
is the community where the experts are. What have we got to say in
response?
How do you teach digital literacy? There was a lot of talk at the CIF about
teaching digital literacy to children. It seems to me the question isn't so
much about digital literacy as it is critical thinking. The Internet
amplifies by orders of magnitude the number of voices we hear. We need to
teach children how to distinguish the facts, then determine the truth as it
applies to them, rather than some nebulous buzz word like digital literacy.
