Digital literacy is the ability to clearly find, evaluate, and communicate information through typing and other media on a variety of digital platforms. Evaluated based on your ability to create text, images, sounds and designs using grammar, writing, typing skills and technology. The purpose of this document is to raise awareness of the importance of digital literacy in the educational framework. Digital literacy is more than just learning individual computer skills. Indeed, these basic skills are essential. However, at the heart of digital literacy is the perception of the relevance of these skills in a particular context and the ability to apply them creatively.
Digital literacy is often discussed in connection with its preliminary stage, media literacy. Media literacy education began in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively, as a result of wartime advertising in the 1930s and the rise of advertising in the 1960s.
It is important to put the concept of digital literacy in a historical context. It begins with the term literacy, which meant being an effective speaker 3000 years ago. Use rhetorical means of persuasion. Therefore, literacy is, in the basic sense, sharing meaning through language.
Digital Literacy Goals
• Develop detailed and systematic methodologies to define criteria for identifying best practices
• A good teaching and learning approach aimed at providing /collecting innovative teaching and learning practices acts as a framework for collecting and designing.
• Design and develop web-based inventory, including collection and classification of best practices that support the learning community and enable users to find, share, adapt, and share ideas and best practices with innovative teaching and learning practices.
• Widespread dissemination and validation of the project will create a broad network throughout Europe.
• Disseminate effective teaching methods through networking with related projects, networks and initiatives.
Component of Digital Capabilities:
• Basic skills
• Creativity
• Critical thinking and evaluation
• Cultural and social understanding
• Cooperation
• Ability to find information
• Effective communication
Importance of Digital Literacy for Citizens
The development of digital skills is an important part of basic adult education. Abe's classroom is full of adults who interrupt formal education, acquire literacy skills for the first time, and struggle with math skills and English. For these learners, digital literacy can support or accelerate knowledge acquisition and skill development in a variety of academic contexts.
Digital competence means that you can understand and use the technology. Digital literacy allows you to search, use, and create information online in a productive and useful way. Understanding digital literacy means that technology can be used safely and help avoid its dangers. Several other ways to improve your life skills:
• Connecting
• Save time and money
• Enhanced security
• Information gathering at the global level
• Time update
• Understand the digital footprint
Basic Literacy Rrequired by Citizens
A student's future career depends on their ability to understand and use digital tools. 96% of working Americans use digital technology every day, and 62%say the Internet is an integral part of their work. A recent report estimates that the cost to the US economy from losing productivity due to the "digital skills gap" is about $ 1.3 trillion annually.
Computer basics: Student Basic Mode is used to connect with the world around you. The basic elements of computing are:
1. Basic computer skills: Monitor processor. Find and open files, save in different locations.
2. Understanding of software programs: Copy, paste, and formatting.
Coding
The ability to apply computational skills in a specific coding language is to solve problems and create solutions.
Coding skills also include structuring and formatting information as applied to non-programming languages such as HTML and CSS. Elements of coding include understanding of the key structures used in programming and coding languages develop fluency in the syntax of programming or coding languages.
Keyboard: In the modern world, communication moves faster, so students need to be able in touch-typing.
Digital citizenship: The Internet is a digital community where students live 24/7 and can be a dangerous force, as we have seen in cyber bullying and stalking information needs to be shared only in certain circumstances (date of birth, social security, credit card, name, etc.) and can identify situations where personal data such as social media relations, e-commerce, etc. should not be shared.
