USES OF DIGITAL LITERACY

In Education: digital literacy is more than having the knowledge of how to use a computer, what your software program does or the function of the hardware but also about using that knowledge to actually facilitate the learning process. Educators are often required to be certified in digital literacy to teach certain software, and more prevalently to prevent plagiarism among students.

In Society: it helps to communicate and keep up with societal trends. Literacy in social network services and web sites help people stay in contact with others, pass timely information and even sell goods and services.

In Workforce: those who are digitally literate are more likely to be economically secure. Many jobs require a working knowledge of computers and the internet to perform basic functions.

Digital composition: is a new type of composition that focuses on technology’s impact on the writing environment. The goal of digital composition is that it increases the ability to produce a relevant, high-quality product instead of just paperwork.

Social Media: Digital literacy allows digital literates to have major voices online through different social media platforms.
