Digital literacy
Sometimes the teacher is aware of each of the risks his students face, but did he think about getting them involved in solving them through new technological applications? As more and more schools allow students to share content through digital literacy, Google has deployed a wide range of resources on understanding digital literacy and digital citizenship, including YouTube videos, teacher guides and lesson plans.

As libraries provide countless services that require some knowledge of technology and how to access the Internet, the job descriptions of librarians and key responsibilities have changed dramatically.
