Introduction



Welcome to digitalliteracy22,

This site has been created based on the idea that students are not born digitally literate, it needs to be taught. In the same way you wouldn’t give a book to a child and expect them to have all the skills and knowledge necessary to fully engage in the experience, so why do we expect students to be able to get on a computer and be completely digitally literate?

Here you will find a space specifically created by teachers for teachers. It is a space where educators can come to learn firstly for themselves and then for their students. Here we will discuss digital literacy and its importance in our classrooms. There will also be pages dedicated to Google, Google products and various other products. These pages will provide you with knowledge and skills to become capable users of such resources and effective teachers for students.

There is also room for your comments and suggestions in the ‘discussion’ tab located at the top of the page.

Enjoy your journey on becoming an effective digitally literate teacher !
