DIGITAL LITERACY LITERACY refers to a basic training for life (a lifelong learning). It is not just a matter of READING or WRITING, but it refers to SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE and APTITUDES which lead us to manage every aspect in LIFE. ILLITERACY SOCIAL INEQUALITY

3 DIGITAL LITERACY In the last 20 years we have experienced a huge change in society. Traditional information and communication resources have been left aside by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). ….And now we can reach almost everything with just a click. But is this an advantage or a disadvantage? Can we easy and properly move into this kind of ...Information Jungle? Are technologies making our lives more comfortable or are they complicating our lives instead?

4 DIGITAL LITERACY If we really want ICTs help us in our lives we have to be able to manage all this amalgam of technological resources and get the different skills to take advantage of them. A 21st century literate citizen must manage the ICTs resources successfully. This implies to be able to use these tools in an autonomous and intelligent way. If we want to transform information into knowledge... ...we have to become digital citizens

DIGITAL LITERACY Education plays an important role on society, and consequently it has to assume its role of Digital Leader. Teachers have to lead students into an adequate use of ICT tools. In this sense every Educative programme must include digital literacy as an important part of its curriculum and facilitate the access to the different resources to form digitally competent citizens. We must lead the teaching of a safe use of ICTs. The problem is that our students have already started to learn, and most of the time alone, without any kind of indications or guide. They have learnt intuitively. They are DIGITAL NATIVES.

7 DIGITAL LITERACY From the moment we assume the task of promoting a digital literacy in an Educative environment we should distinguish among the following aspects: LITERACY ON TECHNOLOGY: Manage hardware and software (apps, programs, devices...) LITERACY ON INFORMATION: Select, evaluate, analyze all the information we find in the net and have a CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE and THINKING LITERACY ON COMMUNICATION: To express properly in a digital environment using different audiovisual formats. LITERACY ON ETHICAL VALUES: To act with responsibility, respect and security.
