Beetham & Sharpe Learner's Perspective
  1. Access (I have access to online ICT)
    The user identifies and explores different information and communication technology (ICT), applies additional skills using Web 2.0 or 3.0 tools. Next, the user chooses, discovers, personalize, or engages in technology (Beetham & Sharpe, 2011).
  2. Skills (I can use various technologies and produce the task)
    The user identifies and defines various media to access and analyze data forming information using various technology assisting management or content organization (Beetham & Sharpe, 2011). 
  3. Practices (I can analyze and think about the task)
    The user's critical thinking accesses other resource materials or social groups, and applies appropriate skills manipulating the information and focuses on an individual goal or task (Beetham & Sharpe, 2011). 
  4. Attributes (I am confident in myself to complete the task)
    The user combines steps one to three creating individual content ownership and demonstrates ethical behaviors, organization skills, creativity and design application, critical thinking and technology awareness (Beetham & Sharpe, 2011).
Digital Literacy Components Summary by FutureLab Hague & Payton
Digital literacy combines different components and embraces other attributes outside of technological application.  Digital literacy components engage one's creativity, critical thinking, ethics, and social engagement using and applying information communication technology skills and resources
(Hague & Payton, 2010).
