Digital Literacy

This page collects together the handouts and video tutorials I have produced at the University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The initial set of Digital Literacy videos were produced with a grant from the James M. Cox Institute for Innovation, Leadership and Management and the Department of Journalism.
