Looking at digital literacy through a different perspective

After reading the article, I found that one of the more important parts of the read was about how there are practices that destroy digital literacy. Some of the practices are to stop counting slides, stop using blogs without blogging, not critically thinking, and using only "cool" technology for your students. Out of the few,  I think not critically thinking is one of the most important mishaps that teachers make because students can easily take questions given to them and search for the answers online instead of inference questions which actually make them think about the question at hand, and in return they end up actually obtaining the information for use. I can agree with the author on this topic of the few aspects that destroy digital literacy because although these questions you can search for on google and get direct answers are easier to do, they aren't going to help you learn the content. With everything in mind discussed today, I can go on a deeper level to say the least that just because an app or new tool to use is fun and entertaining for the class to use does not mean it meets all the standards needed for technology or teachers. After looking closely at a specific app today too I can positively say that you can find more than one use for the tool then expected such as maybe you didn't bring the aspect of students with disabilities into the picture and possibly that's an aspect you need to consider for all areas. Looking forward as a future teacher, I know now not only from the article but from new information brought to my attention today that being an educator with knowledge of how to teach students how to use tools in a productive way, is my responsibility in the end. The S.A.M.R model helped me to better define the relationship between how technology and if it even does impact teaching and learner on various different levels.
