Definition of Digital Literacy Strand:

At our school we recognise that we need to prepare pupils for a digital world through a sustained engagement with technology and  media relevant to their context.  We show pupils how to use digital tools to control their relationship with the digital world and negotiate other software programs from previous knowledge and experience.  Pupils develop cognitive skills that enable them to process both the information they encounter online and the tools they need to make sense of that information and produce their own information.  Units of work which form a part of the Digital Literacy strand are designed to meet these needs through challenging and engaging work which seeks to produce pupils who are literate in digital technology and relevant processing and thinking skills.
