Relationship between Digital Literacy and Learning

Digital literacy is considered by many researchers important as much as the ability to read and write and so all students must learn to relate in a manner appropriate for the use of media and technology in the learning process

The sharing of knowledge made potentially longer available from the digital environments, however, needs a work of "care" and conscious choice with repercussions not only on education systems, but also on social and political systems.

About digital literacy and youth

Young people are the ones who most need to be involved in training and institutionalized technological qualification, because despite being "digital natives" do not have the appropriate skills to extricate and optimize Internet resources

About digital literacy and older people

Older people are those who risk more than all other categories of people being excluded from the digital society, Among the methods deemed most suitable to the digital literacy of the older people, in addition to e-learning, which many universities are concerned, there is the intergenerational learning model, which provides a connection between school, digital natives and senior centers , interacting in local contexts both national and foreign.

Digital Literacy, disabilities and special learning needs

Spreading digital literacy, also in the world of the disabled is an important opportunity not only for those who want to keep up with new technologies or for those looking to improve their working conditions, but also for those who can take advantage of the tools to learn, plan, share, improve their condition and "move" more easily in society.
