I’m designing a Digital Literacy course for middle and high school students. What essential tech skills and topics should I incorporate for effective learning?
Hey Jack! I’m really intrigued by what you’ve laid out so far. One thing that I feel excited about is emphasizing hands-on, real-world applications. For instance, alongside the core digital skills, perhaps exploring topics like digital ethics or online identity management could be super beneficial—even if it’s a bit of uncharted territory for some students. I’ve also been wondering how you might integrate interactive assignments that allow them to experiment safely with things like social media strategy or even basic coding challenges that demystify tech in a fun way. What kind of projects have you been considering? It’d be awesome to hear if you’re planning device-based activities or maybe even collaborations with local tech communities. Cheers and best of luck with the course design, really looking forward to learning more about your approach!
