Unit 9: Digital Literacy
Value: This unit is valued at 20pts.
Meaning: the process of teaching and learning about technology and the uses of technology.
In some states in the USA they have added an extra official language to join English and Spanish as the official languages. CODING has become recognized as an essential future skill and those of us who don't know how to program computers and digital tech will find running the dishwasher and oven difficult soon. We are expected to know more and more aspects of digital tech every year but teaching has fallen behind. Th teaching and learning about technology and its uses could not be more important right now.
