Overview
As our lives become increasingly intertwined with technology, the cultivation of essential Digital Literacy skills takes on heightened importance for success in the contemporary world. This accentuates the crucial role played by the Digital Literacy General Capability within the Australian Curriculum V9. Yet, unraveling the distinctions between Digital Literacy and Digital Technologies education remains an ongoing endeavour. In addressing this, Grok Academy will convene a panel to spotlight these differences, explore their synergies, and stress the imperative for educators to possess a comprehensive understanding of both. Panelists will share valuable insights into fostering Digital Literacy proficiencies among students and delve into innovative approaches for seamlessly integrating these skills across diverse subject domains within educational programs.
