At Gilmore Primary School, digital literacy encompasses the knowledge and skills students need to create, manage, communicate and investigate data, information and ideas, and solve problems across all curriculum areas. It assists students to work collaboratively at school and in their lives beyond school.
Digital literacy involves students critically identifying and appropriately selecting and using digital devices or systems, and learning to make the most of the technologies available to them. Students adapt to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve, and protect the safety of themselves and others in digital environments. The Digital Literacy learning continuum is organised into four elements:
- Practising digital safety and wellbeing
- Investigating
- Creating and exchanging
- Managing and operating.
