providing under-resourced communities with an inclusive platform to enhance access to digital literacy skills and tools.
Why is Digital Literacy Important?
Digital literacy skills have become necessary for navigating the ever-digitalizing world. Developing your abilities to learn, share, and organize media using digital technology opens a whole new world for you.
By making digital literacy a priority in K-12 education, institutions can help to improve digital literacy among under-resourced children, helping to upskill these students so they may have increased career opportunities in the future.
What is the Digital Divide?
Digital Divide is present when people have limited access to the internet, or no access at all. They may also lack knowledge about programs for secure chat or video calls, online healthcare, banking, or for online learning. The lack of reliable internet access, devices, and digital literacy skills creates economic, social, and educational inequities.
