The European guiding principles emphasize the importance of digital literacy skills, which encompass the knowledge and abilities necessary for using technology effectively and responsibly.

To ensure students are well-equipped, we must integrate digital literacy into our teaching. This approach helps students use technology more effectively and avoids less informed usage. Collaboration with other teachers and subjects is key to demonstrating the practicality of digital skills in addressing a variety of real-world challenges.

It refers to the ability to use technology and digital tools effectively for learning, communication and problem solving.

These skills certainly need to be dealt with in teaching, e.g. teachers can incorporate them into lessons by using technology to enhance learning, fostering critical engagement with online content and encouraging learners to use digital tools creatively and responsibly.

The European guiding principles talk about digital literacy skills as everything that students need to learn in order to make an adequate use of technologies in terms of protecting their own safety but also being sustainable. Digital literacy skills also entail being proficient at using digital tools, making the most of the different opportunities that they offer and successfully evaluating whether certain information is relevant/reliable or not.

We should definitely address them in our teaching, since if we don’t our students will still make use of them, but in a less resourceful way. We should implement them in collaboration with other teachers and subjects so that students understand how convenient they can be when dealing with different challenges.

These principles refer to "digital literacy", something that goes beyond have a basic digital knowledge. Even though the original meaning for literacy is just the ability of reading and writing, the word is being used in a different way here. It means being able to evaluate and communicate, among other things, in digital platforms. Let's say: it's being "fluent" in digitalisation.

I do believe we should address them in our teaching due to the growing necessity of adapting education to the new technology era. There are many different activities that could be carried out, but I believe it is important to teach students from a very young age how to differentiate websites, how to find verified information and how to double check if what they are reading/watching is true or fake news.

In this context, for the European guiding principles literacy skills go beyond reading and writing, since they include digital literacy. In this broader sense, literacy involves understanding how to research information and develop critical thinking that allows us to discern fake news from facts. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance to develop this skill with our students. Perhaps, in order to address this in class, we could work on projects with them in which they had to research information and evaluate its credibility in a supervised way.

I understand that 'literacy' in this context refers to the ability to use technology easily and have certain digital skills. As an English teacher, I don't think it's our responsibility to teach them these abilities, schools have IT classes for that.

However, we could combine English and IT to work on digital abilities and language learning at the same time. We could collaborate with the IT department to do so.

I think it means understanding how digital tools work, recognizing the influence of digital media, and being able to process information responsibly.

Maybe it’s not our responsibility to teach students how to use it, that's more what IT classes do. However, we could guide them on how to use these tools in ways that align with the objectives of learning English.

For example, we can show students how to research reliable information for assignments, use digital platforms in English, or practice their language skills through online content.

In this case, I think literacy skills are related to use technology properly in order to implement it into your teaching in order to create meaningful material for your students. It includes reading, writing and comprehension skills along with the ability to use digital devices.

Therefore, I think it is crucial to address them in our teaching since the students will have more tools deals with the assignments more effectively and facilitate online research.

Literacy skills enable individuals not only to consume information but to communicate effectively in digital environments. In today's digital world, I think that teaching literacy is essential for students to navigate information responsibly and participate fully in society. Teachers can design activities that promote evaluation of online sources integrating digital tools thoughtfully. Something to bear in mind is to foster safe, responsible online behaviours.

In this context, literacy refers to using technology properly in order to implement it to our teaching. It is the ability to adapt our teaching methods to this technological era and therefore, use it to our own advantage.

Literacy, in this context means the ability to use techology effectively and to be able to create meaningul material with it. We totally should implement technology literacy in our lessons but I think that the main challenge here is that our students, digital natives, may control it better. It is our duty as teachers to keep ourselves updated.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that literacy skills mean the ability to write and read but also different competencies such as media literacy or digital literacy, hence, the ability to use digital tools in order to investigate, find information or share it. These different skills should be learnt to use effectively. Therefore, it is necessary to address and implement them at school.

# data[].attributes.body
The European guiding principles refer to "literacy skills" as a broad set of competencies, including digital literacy, media literacy, and critical thinking, which are essential for navigating, understanding, and engaging with both digital and non-digital information. These skills go beyond traditional reading and writing to encompass the ability to assess the credibility of online sources, use digital tools effectively, and engage responsibly with technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that what is meant by literacy skills is the ability to write, read and understand information through digital media. I think it is necessary to teach these skills because nowadays we have a lot of information in the palm of our hand, so it is important to know how to contrast information and have critical thinking to have our own opinion on certain topics.

# data[].attributes.body
When the European guiding principles mention literacy skills, they are referring to the ability to read, understand, and use information effectively across various media (not just books, but also digital content). In our teaching, we should definitely address these skills, especially since students need to navigate a sea of information online. This includes teaching how to critically analyze digital sources, not just consume content passively. It's about fostering critical thinking, not just reading comprehension. And again, to me AI makes it even more urgent to foster critical thinking, since now content creation is often done in bulk by AI and soon AI will be ubiquitous.

What they mean referring to "literacy skills" is the ability to use correctly and effectively technology relating it with literacy, meaning reading, writing, listening and speaking. And yes, we should implement them in our teaching leassons so they know how to use technology in an efficient manner.

Those European guiding principles referring to literacy skills I think they make reference to the ability of knowing how to use technology for reading and writing. Living now in a digital era, we have at our fingertips all the information that we want, and therefore we have to take advantage of it and include them in our teaching. In this sense, we will have a broader amount of information and opportunities to offer to our students.

Literacy skills refer to the ability to use digital tools to find, understand, and communicate information safely and responsibly. Yes, we should address them in teaching by incorporating digital literacy into various subjects and teaching students how to use technology effectively and responsibly.

Literacy skills involve the ability to read, write, and comprehend information, including digital literacy, which is about using technology to find, assess, and share information. It's important to teach these skills so students can succeed in both conventional and digital settings. We can incorporate literacy through activities like reading, writing, and using digital tools for research and communication.

"Literacy skills" today do not only include reading and writing but also digital, media, and information literacy. Teaching these skills is important, as it helps students navigate and create in a digital world, using activities like digital storytelling and project-based learning.

Many agree that it's important for students to learn how to use technology effectively. However, there is also a view that traditional skills, like writing by hand, should not be completely replaced. Maybe the key would be to balance these two methods to ensure that learners are really prepared for both.

The European guiding principles refer to "literacy skills" as digital, media, data and information literacy. These skills help students navigate, evaluate, and create content in a digital world. Addressing them in teaching is essential to prepare students for the digital age. We can incorporate these skills through activities like digital storytelling or project-based learning.

As I see it, it makes reference to the abilities and competences that we have in order to effectively understand information or use something. In this case, I think it is linked to the skills that we have when it comes to using technology as a work tool.

If technology is to be implemented in education, we should address them. Even though children are increasingly trained from an early age to use the new technologies, we should offer them the competences and the abilities to really take advantage of them.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, literacy skills refer to reading and writing. When we talk about technology, I would say that literacy skills are the ability of showing your ability to write through a device. I guess that we should address them in our teaching, given that this is what our students will need to show in their future careers.

In my opinion, literacy here is linked with the fact to be able to work and use technology and languages linked with it, but it could also include competences such as speaking or reading.

It could be interesting to address them in our teaching, in some ways, however, it could never replace written exams, where technology and internet are not there, because using digital tools could also mean using online dictionaries for instance, because it could not be verified every time

I think that by 'literacy skills' they refer to the competences associated with language learning (reading, writing, listening and speaking).

I think it is very important they are adressed while teaching with technology because they are impacted by this new way of learning and impact, themselves, the way we learn and process new teachings.

In the idea of teaching languages I believe that technology should be associated with traditional learning (limited use of technology), language is a social thing and all the skills are permeable and should be collectively worked on, with and without the use of technologies.

In my opinion, it refers to reading and writing skills. Addressing those guidance could be an interesting challenge and a step forward in terms of inclusion in class. We could do that by thinking more work/homework to be submitted online.

However, I also think that using too much digital technologies to work on literacy skills is a false good idea. Indeed, we still need sometimes to write on paper so without an auto corrector. Then, working with digital technologies could lead us to rely / depend too much on this type of aid.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, they maybe mean the ability to use technology in an efficient way to study and teach, or how to use technology to write and find information. And using a computer or all kind of technological instruments is extremely important nowadays, so it might be a subject that needs to be addressed.
