In my classroom, digital literacy is making sure all students know how to navigate the LMS (Canvas) in order to successfully access all class materials and assignment submissions.

I model digital literacy to my students by establishing understanding during the first week of the course. Everyone will bring a device to class and we will practice using our Canvas login credentials, accessing the weekly lessons and study guides, and how to submit an assignment successfully. Modeling these expectations shows students that they are capable of obtaining these new skills, while ensuring they truly know how to use the LMS and will avoid several possible issues in the future.

In my science classroom, digital fluency means equipping students with the skills to critically evaluate online information, collaborate using digital tools, and communicate their findings effectively. I model this by integrating platforms like Google Workspace for collaborative projects and using simulations to visualize complex scientific concepts. Additionally, we discuss the importance of digital citizenship, ensuring students understand how to navigate the digital world responsibly.

In my classroom, digital literacy is making sure that all students can use essential skills to log in to a Chromebook and independently navigate various learning platforms, including: (Kahoot, ExactPath, Freckle, RocketMath, Savvas, HMH, etc.). I reinforce that technology is a tool for learning, not just entertainment. I model digital fluency by using technology with intention during lessons. For example, I show students how to use educational apps for reading and math practice, or how to navigate a digital storybook.

Digital literacy is the capacity to use digital tools to locate, assess, produce, and share knowledge. Personal, professional, and societal success depend on it, as it enables people to navigate the internet terrain properly and ethically.

I model this with my students by developing streamlined ways for them to access resources based on their individualized needs.
