Today, I looked into how the BC Curriculum Core Competencies connect and can be supported by digital technology and digital literacy. Creating a (beautiful) Venn diagram to show my findings allowed me to explore how important using digital technology, and teaching digital literacy, is to the curriculum. When used with intention, digital technology and literacy can amplify Communication, Personal and Social Awareness, and Critical and Reflective Thinking.

Digital literacy is more than just knowing how to use a computer. It’s about understanding how to be thoughtful, ethical, and critical when navigating the digital world. Core competencies like Communication and Critical and Reflective Thinking are greatly strengthened when students have the opportunity to use digital tools to evaluate information, research, and collaborate with others. By using these tools to respond to the world, students become confident learners with empowered voices.
