Digital Fluency

Building Digital Fluency is a cornerstone of Digital Technologies teaching. It's not the focus of it and here is a collection of curated resources that our community uses to support students to upskill for different Digital Outcomes.

This is to support schools to take equipment out of the cupboard and into the classroom.

This is not a shopping list of equipment that is required to teach Digital Technologies.

File Management

Ask yourself

How easy would it be to find the file again?

Do I have my documents organised in folders and is it logical to add new files to them?

Does the file name make sense if I found it in my downloads?
