2. What is Digital Literacy?
• Digital Literacy is the process of teaching and
learning about technology.
The above picture represents the use of technology after it
was learned.

3. Digital Literacy in Schools
• Schools have made progress in the area of
technology, but still have work to do.
• Developments have been made, yet not used
in schools. (e.g., videoconferencing, online
sharing spaces such as wikis).
The picture to the left represents students using
computers at school.

4. Learning How To Use Technology
• Learners must be able to communicate in a
digital society.
• As new technology comes about, it must be
learned to use quickly and appropriately.
The picture to the right represents a young child
learning how to use the technology available to
learn.

5. Why is this important?
• Without technology many business would
take longer to produce the amount of work
they are able to produce with the technology
available.
