Digital Literacy – Grades 7 & 8
Digital Literacy prepares students to use technology confidently, responsibly, safely and effectively in school and everyday life. Through hands-on activities and real-world applications, students will develop skills in digital citizenship, online safety and privacy, cybersecurity, media and information literacy, digital communication and collaboration, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Students will practice evaluating online information for accuracy, credibility, bias and misinformation while using digital tools to research, organize, communicate and create. Grade 7 will emphasize foundational skills, while Grade 8 will build upon those skills through more independent application and exploration of increasingly complex digital issues.
