Just reading the report referred to in this blog post, and thinking about the impact for geography teachers and educators.
It's a report commissioned by the SQA. (PDF download)
It has a lot of interesting things to say about the possible impact of digital literacy on the nature of learning in the future, in particular the extent to which students transfer the skills they will bring with them to their learning, and the opportunities that are made available by institutions to the young people who arrive in them.

I particularly like the ecosystem diagram, which shows the relationship between:
ACTIVITIES: Real world things that people need to do...
&
TOOLS: Software applications that enable or generate activities... (some of which may not be related to the use that they are eventually put to...)
&
COMPETENCIES: Capability to choose and use tools to perform activities...
At which point does the teacher come in ?
Which particularly geographical activities, tools and competencies are we anticipating providing ?
