Digital Literacy

Digital literacy is the ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise information in an online environment. The ability to confidently thrive online is a necessary skill that everyone should have. Yet many do not, especially vulnerable populations and those who are affected by poverty. In our technology-driven society, digital literacy skills are essential. Let’s make bridging the digital literacy skills gap a community priority!
