What is Digital Literacy? Definition and Skills

The piece shares a few direct quotes from Haley including, “Young children learn digital literacy best through hands-on, real-world connections” and goes on to share, “One simple activity is real or pretend, where children look at images or stories and decide if they are realistic or made up, building early critical thinking. Another is co-viewing media and pausing to ask questions like, Who made this? or What do you think they want us to feel? Role-playing online scenarios, such as, what to do if a stranger messages you, helps build safety awareness. Even documenting their own learning through photos or videos introduces them to content creation in a meaningful, reflective way.”
