Digital Literacy is the ability of reading and writing and understanding what you read or wrote.

Any person in the world can do digital literacy. All they have to do is be able to write, read and understand people when they talk.

Digital literacy is everywhere. Posts, posters, books, games and studies all include digital literacy because they all include reading, writing or understanding.

We use Digital Literacy everyday in our lives. When we are out driving we read the signs, when we are at school we read our papers and when we are playing games, we read the instructions.

We use digital literacy so we can understand the people when they talk to us. We also use it to learn how to read and improve our vocabulary and education. We also use it to learn other languages to communicate with other people from around the whole world.

Digital literacy has a huge disadvantage because of its modern use. Computers are now made to improve digital literacy as well as our daily lives. Computers are used for many online exams or surveys. Alas, some people use them in a bad way. While doing exams online, some people use plagiarism and take other peoples work instead of writing their own. They can also cheat via instant messaging from MSN. This really is not the right way to write a test.

Teachers can teach students lesson about plagiarism and cheating. They have to tell students that these kind of things are bad for them and their education. They also can threaten them of getting expelled or failing the test. They have to do everything in their power to stop students using computers for plagiarism and cheating.
