These are also digital SKILLS that you should be prepared to SPEND TIME TEACHING to learners.

    • Level 1 skills are (probably) easiest to teach and learn.

    • Level 2 skills can be more challenging because they require more "clicking around," especially on phones or tablets.

    • Level 3 skills require learners to be able to toggle to a new app/tab/window and then be able to RETURN to Google Meet or Zoom.
