The document discusses the need for digital literacy frameworks to address deeper philosophical questions about society and education. It argues digital literacy cannot be separated from fostering critical agency - the ability to understand and shape one's reality. It advocates scaffolding learning experiences that teach students how to critically examine digital tools, platforms, and their own online identities and voices. An example given is analyzing terms of service for online products.

The digital literacy movement cannot be separated from deeper ideological and philosophical questions concerning the nature of the good society and the purpose of the education system. • why you did what you did • who is included and how? • who is excluded/whose voice is not heard? • what is the role of play and creativity in learning • how did you facilitate use of your agency through digital tools?
