Ako Aotearoa views this as a priority response to the unprecedented shift to online dependence as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The key objective is to assist educators in supporting learners’ digital literacy development to promote digital inclusion and digital equity. This includes the development of critical and creative thinking skills and the development of digital skills, i.e., the ability to use digital tools.

The Digital Literacy Educator Pathway features two modules:

Module 1 looks at what digital literacy is, presents a range of digital literacy frameworks, and explores the interplay of digital literacy and remixing.

Module 2 has a wealth of resources, strategies, icebreakers, and activities for teaching digital literacy.

To access the modules, visit the Pathways Awarua homepage and log in, or register to create a free educator account. Click on Educator Pathways and select the Digital Literacy Pathway.
