= Article evaluation =


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * Everything in the article is relevant to the topic. I haven't noticed anything that distracted.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * I don't think this article is heavily biased. Most of it is just presenting facts and pure definition based on the references.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * There is a lot of information about digital literacy in terms of education. For example, there is a section on digital literacy from a pedagogical perspective, application of digital literacy in education, and participation gap among student users. Although I do recognize the fact that technology has become increasingly prevalent in the young generation's life, I think there could be an equal amount of information focused on technology's role in other age groups. I would like to see more information about how elderly are seens as digital immigrants.
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * The links citation links work. Some of the sources are about theory of digital literacy, digital competence, and digital skills, which are all related to the Digital Literacy Wikipedia page.
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * The first paragraph of the Academic and pedagogical concepts section referred to a report on the current state of computing education in schools in UK, which is related to this particular section of the Digital Literacy Wikipedia page. This report was written by a Professor of Computer Engineering t the University of Manchester. Although this report has a firm stance on reforming computing education in UK schools, it is biased because its claim is supported by strong evidences. For example, it has pointed out that the current National Curriculum in England lumps together a range of aspects of computing, which has made computing education not as diverse as it could be.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * Nearly all of the sources that this article referred to are from the recent decade. Since the article suggested that digital literacy encompass sociological, political, cultural, economic and behavioral aspects of digital technologies, I think it could have touched upon these areas as well.
 * Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * The comments are mostly about how editors plan on improving the content by pointing out some flaws in the previous version and adding their own modification to the wording or information.
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * This article is a part of WikiProject Education, Computing, Linguistics/Applied Linguistics, and Internet. Its rate is C-class, and has a mid to high-importance. Since it is in the C-class, it must be missing some important content or contains some irrelevant material.
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
 * Our class have approached digital literacy from the feminist point of view. In this Wikipedia article, participation gap was brought up, but it primarily discussed the gap in skills when individuals have different levels of access to technology. Rather than focusing on the gender gap, it only focused on students students' different experiences with technology.
