Literacy in today’s world goes beyond reading and writing. Digital literacy is as important today as the traditional skills that have enabled people to function and prosper for hundreds of years. Many would argue that the digital skills of today are just as important as the more traditional skills. This session identifys the skills of the new literacy and focus on the positive impact the skills can have on learning, work and life. Information management, ethical and legal issues, and privacy and security guidelines will be explored as part of the larger digital literacy topic.

19. Best Practices for
Using Digital Images
•Realize that images downloaded from the Internet may be
protected by copyright.
•Remember that images often comprise different layers of
rights/rightsholders. Rights to one ≠ rights to all.
•Completely credit your sources. Complete attributions for
images must appear on screen with the image(s) used; if not,
there should be a link to the citation.
•If using images from a licensed resource, follow the terms
of the license.
