In today's society, technology is becoming an essential aspect of our lives. As the digital age continues to evolve, the need for digital literacy and critical thinking skills is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the context of education.
Digital literacy is the ability to use digital technology, communication tools, and networks to access, manage, integrate, analyze, and evaluate digital information effectively. It includes the capacity to read, interpret, and create a range of digital media, using a variety of digital devices. Digital literacy is a necessary skill for learners of all ages, especially in the modern era, where digital technology is ubiquitous in every aspect of our lives, including education.
However, it is not enough to merely possess digital literacy skills. The ability to think critically about the information we consume and produce in digital spaces is just as crucial. Critical digital literacy is the ability to assess digital information, discerning its credibility, accuracy, and biases. It also involves the capacity to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate digital content to make informed judgments and decisions.
The theme of this conference is crucial in today's world because it addresses the growing need for critical digital literacy skills in education. The conference aims to provide a platform to explore how educators can develop critical digital literacy skills in their students. We believe that by fostering critical digital literacy, students will be better equipped to navigate the vast amount of information available on digital platforms, make informed decisions, and effectively communicate and collaborate with others.
The importance of digital literacy and critical thinking skills in education cannot be overstated. The modern-day classroom is no longer limited to traditional face-to-face interactions between teachers and students. Instead, educators must navigate a diverse range of digital platforms, including social media, blogs, podcasts, and online communities. While digital platforms provide tremendous opportunities for collaboration and learning, they also pose significant challenges. Therefore, Thus, it is important to understand and navigate these hurdles through Practicing Critical Digital Literacy for Future Education.
