"Access to computers, the Internet, and mobile phones with Internet capabilities among people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two is more than 90 percent, and in some areas up to 100 percent. So access is not an issue for most youths in the Nordic countries."
In the Nordic countries, "the main focus has been on the technology itself, and on getting access to computers and the Internet into schools. There has generally been a much stronger tradition of project-based learning, a strong emphasis on social structure and the welfare society model, which are similar in all Nordic countries, have created a different framework for how people engage themselves in their own societies."
"In order to grasp the more qualitative aspects of media use, we need to specify certain focus areas of media use."
"Five dimensions can be elaborated, which highlight different aspects of how we understand digital literacies as part of school-based learning."
- Basic Skills
- Media as Object of Analysis
- Knowledge Building in Subject Domains
- Learning Strategies
- Digital Bildung/Cultural Competence
"Young people use a wide variety of digital media that are part of their activities from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed. Still, from an educational point of view, and relating to digital literacy, it is rarely expressed in a critical analytical way as something they reflect on. Digital media is something they 'do stuff with.' And that is why formal education becomes important."
