digital literacy overview
What is Digital Literacy and why is it important?
The element of Digital Literacy is defined as the process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology (Ribble, 2015). This is very important to the overall idea of Digital Citizenship, as it is the way people become aware of the digital world. This element is critical in the sharing of ideas associated with the digital world and the associated technology used to access it. More importantly, this element is the opportunity for the educator to inform the learner of potential issues which could arise from the digital world, including false information, health risks and malicious people.
