Thesis (M.S.)--Jackson State University, 2015.

The aim of this thesis was to examine the current state of digital literacy efforts for school students in Jackson, Mississippi, and to explore whether they are receiving the skills necessary for success in school, college and career. This study had two objectives: (a) to investigate how teachers in the metro Jackson area are integrating digital literacy in the classroom; and (b) to identify the obstacles and challenges teachers face in integrating digital literacy. This qualitative pilot study addressed these objectives through a set of semi-structured, confidential interviews of 9th grade public and private school teachers teaching in the Jackson metro area. These subjects were selected utilizing non-probability sampling employing a convenience method. Data was analyzed using themes that emerged through Grounded Theory applied to the observed qualitative data. The study's findings indicate that (a) in comparison with private school teachers, public school teachers remain significantly affected by the digital divide in their efforts to provide digital literacy to students; (b) a majority of private school teachers have the benefit of established technology initiatives to facilitate digital literacy; (c) the 9th grade public school laptop initiative offers public school teachers the opportunity to provide basic technology skills and digital literacy development; and (d) if particular obstacles can be overcome, such as the digital divide, public school teachers can provide the level of digital literacy development students need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
