    5. Conduct a Google search for “digital fluency<\/a>” Select one or two definitions.\n<\/li>\n
    6. What are the differences between digital literacies, digital fluency, and digital skills? How are these concepts related?\n<\/li>\n
    7. Read: What is digital literacy?<\/a> published by POMO – Is this a reliable source?\n<\/li>\n
    8. How would you rate the academic quality of the definitions you found (e.g. low \/ high quality)?\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
