What is digital literacy?
Digital literacy is a set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that empower learners to engage with their digital lives. Our digital literacy framework identifies seven competency areas for digital literacy:
- Identity & Wellbeing
- Discovery
- Evaluation
- Ethics
- Creation & Scholarship
- Communication & Collaboration
- Curation
In this guide, you'll find sample resources for each of these areas. This guide is a companion to the Digital Literacy Framework Toolkit.
