Digital Literacy, Internet Safety, and Social MediaErasmus+ course summary
Inadequate digital literacy can harness the safety of students, decrease their abilities to build skills online, and diminish their employability. Needless to say that students’ mental health is at risk with a lack of skills in managing cyberbullying, critical distance towards data privacy and spotting fake news. This course offers teachers engaging activities and learning materials to increase the digital literacy of their students. To promote a holistic view of digital literacy, this course also puts attention to school culture, work with parents and mental health topics. "The biggest part of our digital transformation is changing the way we think." - Simeon Preston
