 DIGITAL LITERACY

Digital literacy is the ability to access,

manage, understand, integrate,
communicate, evaluate and create
information safely and appropriately
through digital technologies for
employment, decent jobs and
entrepreneurship.
 WHY DIGITAL
LITERACY IS
IMPORTANT TO
TEACHERS?
The modern generation is marked with a
quality called ‘speed,’ and nobody has
patience.
The proverb, ‘slow and steady wins the race’
has lost its significance.
The teachers of today’s generation
must equip themselves with the
digital skills necessary to help their
students become responsible digital
citizens.
CHALLENGES TO
DIGITAL
LITERACY TO
EDUCATION
 1. NEED FOR SELF-
DISCIPLINE
Many students struggle with self-discipline in a
higher education classroom setting. It’s the first
time they don’t have parents and teachers actively
checking in.
 2. Missing Social
Interaction

College is an inherently social time — for many of us it’s

where we meet lifelong friends, even our future spouse. The
social energy of a physical classroom can help with learning:
There’s lively discussion, people bouncing ideas off each
other, forming groups, lifting each other up.
3. LACK OF TEACHER
CONTACT
It’s easy to underestimate how much teacher
interaction students get on a physical campus. There’s
the instruction time itself, with real-time question-
and-answer.
 4. POOR TIME
MANAGEMENT
This challenge is related to the self-discipline piece, but it
deserves its own entry. One of the major advantages of online
learning is that students can learn at their own pace. That
advantage can also be a liability, though.
 5. TECHNOLOGICAL
DIFFICULTIES
We tend to take it for granted that everyone has access
to a recent-model laptop or desktop computer.
However, even for a generation of digital natives, not
every student has had the same access to technology
