What Does Digital Literacy Mean To You What digital literacy means to me is when you’re able to use computers effectively. For example, use the internet, use Microsoft word, and use PowerPoint and Excel. What digital literacy means to my everyday life is that I am able to use computers and the programs on them for many different situations. Such as, for homework, to research information, to type essays, to type other documents and to make presentations such as power points and many other things. Knowing how to use technology and knowing the terms associated with technology can help you, your friends, classmates and family become active and responsible digital citizens for a few reasons. For example knowing how to use technology can help you be able to be update with the news and different things going on around us. Also knowing how to use the technology around us can help you to communicate with your long distant friends or far away family members using Social Networks. Some social networks are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and many more. Knowing what terms associated with technology may make it easier to use the different technologies and operations. One important piece of information I have learned about digital literacy that has made an impact learning that 61 percent of teens use social media including Instagram. Some important vocabulary terms about digital literacy are digital access, digital citizenship and digital divide. Digital access is when you participate in technology in society. The definition of digital citizenship is describes how a person should act while using digital technology. Digital divide means those who have access to computers and those who don’t. Digital citizenship has nine different themes including digital access, digital commerce, digital communication, digital etiquette, digital law, digital rights and responsibilities, digital health and digital security.
