Can you easily navigate a new phone and access data from it, take photos and set-up your voice mail? Are you able to take an word presentation assignment and know the technical processes for completing it? Whether you are considered a digital native or digital immigrant, technology changes quick and changes often. However astute a person is in using technology programs, they may equally fall short in knowing some of the basic skills required to fulfill projects and use technology safely and responsibly.
There are several methods I would employ to determine the needs of digital or technology literacy. One way is inspection through training lessons that require a learner to interact with basic word processing programs, internet researches and multi-media tools. Another, is to offer short surveys that include questions specific to word processing tools and internet terminology. The attached virtual survey is an example I created and would use to determine technology literacy. This particular survey was created using Wufoo.com. It is a simple survey with specific multiple choice and completion questions. All submissions are anonymous and offer an excellent overview of answers. Other survey options include SurveyMonkey.com, MicroPoll.com, and PollEverywhere.com.

Computer Literacy
Instructors are called upon to create lessons that appeal to multiple learning styles. Examples of popular learning styles include the visual learner who relies on pictures or text to process information and the auditory learner who relies on what they hear to recall facts. To determine the learning styles that dominate my group of learners, I would ask students to supply information on the Birmingham Grid for Learning (BGFL). a 40 question online survey. Set-up for secondary and post-secondary students, the questions in this survey, if answered honestly, will give insight into the dominant multiple intelligences of individuals or a group. At the end of the survey, the information is calculated to reveal a graph of learning styles and their levels as they relate to the survey-taker. This information can be saved and printed. Additionally, students can submit secret codes to their instructor's class account to remain anonymous. The results can be used to aid an instructor in planning differentiated instruction that meets the needs of all learners.
