Digital Literacy
In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, fostering digital literacy has become an integral part of preparing our Pre-K-12 students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. Digital literacy is more than just navigating devices; it encompasses the critical skills needed to responsibly engage with technology, evaluate online information, and meaningfully contribute to the digital world. As we witness an increasing reliance on digital platforms, it is crucial that our students not only harness the power of technology but also understand the ethical considerations that come with it.
Empowering our students with digital literacy skills goes beyond the confines of the classroom. By providing students with tools to discern credible information, protect their online identity, and responsibly navigate the digital landscape, we equip them for success in an interconnected world. As partners in their educational journey, it is our shared responsibility to guide and support our students in developing these essential skills that will not only serve them academically, but will also shape them into responsible and informed global citizens. This issue provides some resources to help parents navigate these topics.
