What is Digital Literacy – and why do our children need it?
Because the ways we use digital platforms and technology are ever-changing, so too are the things that need to be taught to help someone become digitally literate.
This document has been created to support schools who are working towards Focus Area 2.3 in their eSmart journey. It is not a mandatory requirement for completing your eSmart plan but provides examples of classroom-based activities and lesson plans which will engage your students in their development of positive digital practices.
While we have chosen activities we deem appropriate for the designated age range, we encourage you to review the resources prior to implementing them to ensure they are accessible and suitable for your specific cohorts' needs.
