DIGITAL LITERATE
A lot of people explain and define digital literacy in their own way, even though the definition is self-explanatory it is a lot more complex than a lot of people would think. The IIE (2021) argues that digital literacy is the act or ability in which an individual is able to use information to create their own content using technology or the internet. In digital literacy there are 5 skills that an individual will have that will indicate that they are able to use this information properly. Those skills are; being able to use information to communicate with other people on different kinds of levels and on different formats, being able to use different kinds of technology to value and scrutinise the value of the information given, being able to know the relationship that is there provided with the right information along with being able to work with others with that information given and being able to share that knowledge with the general public.
In conclusion the IIE (2021) argues that acquiring such a skill is important, as it can be used in school and also when individuals start working. But such a skill requires you to know how to use a computer.
