It's really interesting and useful to read your proposal. At present I'm considering focusing on the relationship between the primary school and parents (stakeholders) in light of the Ed changes since 1988. Regards Mike. Hi Doug,

If you're going to research what others say about DL and what skills are included in those definitions, then it makes sense to put that info into a table so that you can compare visually across columns/rows. 4.

My response: 1. That's certainly something I'll be looking at. My gut feeling is that they'd all be on the same spectrum, yes.:-) 2. I'd need some counter-examples to prevent me simply saying 'yes'. In the same way that 'literacy' ranges across domains, so 'digital literacy' does, I think. 3. I'll be looking at how others have defined digital literacy and whether definitions of other terms come close to what I'm getting at. I'll be looking for consensus, common sense and tentative suggestions, not dogmatic statements about what I believe - so I hope it <em>will</em> be research-based and moving towards some type of objectivity. :-p 4. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. Could you elaborate? 5. Perhaps, but hopefully not! Also, I'm undertaking the Ed.D. for a variety of reasons. One of the strongest is for <em>my</em> development and so I interact with a wide range of literature and resources. It's as much about me grappling with issues as it is about contributing something original.:-) Hi John,
