Korea Leads the World in Digital Literacy

As mentioned in an earlier post about "smart education" in Korea, this nation leads the world in digital literacy, according to a recent OECD survey. The 2009 OECD PISA survey tested how 15-year olds use computers and the Internet to learn. Students On Line tasked students with evaluating information on the Internet, assessing its credibility and navigating webpages to test their digital reading performance. After Korea, the next best performers were New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Hong-Kong China and Iceland.
I thought readers might be interested in seeing some of the survey data, so I've included a graphic published by the OECD (click on it to see a full size version).
