In this day and age, digital information is taking over print as the most widely used form of communication. It is important for teachers, students and schools to be able to thrive in the digital age, and to do this, they must be digitally fluent.

Although digital fluency is developed from a young age, it is especially important in secondary school.
Year 8 should focus on consolidating the skills of the students and ensuring they all have a similar level of digital fluency.
In Year 9, students should be exposed to new experiences and skills with technology.
Year 10 should develop students' individual digital fluencies based on their skills and interests.
In Year 11, the digital fluencies of the students should be extended into new contexts.
Finally, in Year 12, it is hoped that the students are digitally proficient.
