The question of how digital skills and competencies can be developed by all people — young and old, girls and boys, rich and poor — on a sustainable basis is an ongoing challenge for governments around the world
Its hard to believe how much technology has grown in just a few years. No wonder finding a practical way for everyone around the world to not miss out on the opportunities that digital literacy can provide would be so difficult.
I look forward to increasing our collaboration to enable individuals everywhere to develop the twenty-first century skills required to thrive within our fast-changing broadband society
There's no question that digital literacy is what our world is moving towards. Therefore, it means one either learns it or gets left behind..
citizens who lack digital literacy skills risk being disadvantaged when it comes to accessing healthcare, government services and opportunities for employment, education and civic participation.
When its all said and done, as an educator it is my job to make sure that my students are equipped with the tools to be successful in life. One of the best tools that I could equip them with is digital literacy. #Cofcedu
"Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society".
One must understand that in order to remain "literate" in any potential knowledge or skill one must continue to sharpen their knowledge or skill by researching and or applying that potential knowledge or skill into their daily life and communities.
