Digital Literacy

The world wide web is continually evolving the way we connect, communicate, share and learn. Now, more than ever, it is absolutely essential that we teach our students the digital literacy skills they need to be successful in a world that is so dependent on being online or plugged in. The pandemic is changing the way we teach, collaborate, and learn; and so the digital literacy skills must follow.

My partner Banda and I explored the pros and cons of cloud computing, academic databases, Internet privacy and URLs. We've created an infographic targeted at high school students through Microsoft PowerPoint.

What feedback do you have for our infographic?
