Summary

In today's digital age, ensuring students are digitally literate is crucial for their success in both education and later life. This course is designed to help you understand and embed digital literacy across the curriculum, addressing the diverse needs of students in both Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3.
You will explore what digital literacy is and why it is important, considering the barriers that some students might face. The course will guide you through integrating digital literacy into various subjects, ensuring that students become competent and confident users of technology. You will also delve into the digital divide, exploring strategies to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Key Stage 2 teachers will gain insights into the digital skills necessary for students' success as they transition to Key Stage 3. This understanding will help them prepare students effectively, ensuring they have a strong foundation in digital literacy. Conversely, Key Stage 3 teachers will learn to set realistic expectations for the digital skills of students as they enter Key Stage 3, acknowledging the varying levels of proficiency they may encounter, and consider how best to build on this starting point.
