Teachers and tutors teach students of all ages to become digitally literate. But what does that mean? First, Itâs more than reading a book online or posting on social media.Â
According to the American Library Association (ALA), digital literacy is defined as âthe ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.âÂ

Letâs break down the specific 21st-century skills students need to use technology while learning academic subjects’ skills and content. But first, letâs explore the importance of digital literacy.
Digital literacy is an important part of a studentâs toolbox of skills. As mentioned, to be digitally literate, students need to know how to find, evaluate, create, communicate, and share digital content. But to do these tasks, they need critical thinking skills. These cognitive skills are just as important as the technical part of digital software and devices. When students study digital literacy, they are learning âhowâ to use computers and how to use them effectively.Â
Students also need to learn how to be responsible when using technology, and they must understand Internet safety. For example, students learn what is appropriate and not appropriate when sending emails and using social media. For internet safety, students learn the basics of strong passwords, managing privacy settings, and the issue of cyberbullying.Â
Studying âliteracyâ is also an important element for students pursuing college and/or their careers. Most, if not all, careers require digital literacy in addition to the cognitive and technical skills needed. Students must learn to use those skills in effective ways and, at the same time, be responsible.
At Themba Tutors, our digital literacy tutors will design a learning plan around your studentâs needs and are age-appropriate. Our goal is to support your student in being digitally literate and supplementing what your child or teen is learning in school.
Students will learn skills from the list below. The possibilities are endless.Â
Learn the problems, solutions, and issues surrounding cyberbullying, purchasing online, digital footprints, private settings, and safety.
Our digital literacy tutors are highly experienced and positive role models. Our tutors use a flexible approach to learning catered to each student we work with. At Themba Tutors, we help students master new digital literacy skills and concepts at their own pace. Your childâs confidence will grow when each new element is mastered. Our staff is invested in driving your child to achieve academic success in both the cognitive thinking and technology skills needed for digital literacy. So, if your son or daughter is struggling with digital literacy, contact us, and we will provide you with the service that will best fit your needs.Â
