One important correction to your final f/g, Heather:
A lesson like this teaches a much more important skill set than digital
literacy (
) or media
literacy. It teaches information literacy (
).
That is what I hope the students learned more from this project. :)
This is coming from a credentialed and experienced (US) teacher in this
field.
