TOPIC: Innovative Digital Literacy Practices in Gr. 11-12 Education. Access and mastery of digital IT skills is rapidly gaining momentum and taking shape. Is this the new transferable skill? Is it applicable to what a college education might be? Is it the 'new normal'? What are exciting practices that are gaining ground with young people. Is this real, or a flash in the pan?

Gratitude
