Lesson Topic
Digital literacy is a foundational concept that is incorporated across curricula so that we can better prepare our learners for the competitive 21st century world of work. Lessons start at the very lowest level—similar to how traditional zero-level literacy curriculum might—so that learners who may have never even touched a computer can get familiar with the parts and vocabulary. As learners progress through the curriculum, they are able to take assessments along the way to demonstrate their understanding and skills—plus they earn digital badges and certificates! For more advanced learners, we use project-based opportunities to facilitate deeper understanding of core tools such as word processing, spreadsheets, and website building.
