Digital Literacy Curricula
Digital Literacy Links
The Tech Hub is pleased to share its digital literacy presentations. The presentations are intended to be a student-facing resource for instructor-led classes that teach digital literacy skills, and they have been designed to accommodate ESOL learners. We are currently revising the presentations to align with the Northstar Digital Literacy curriculum that was released in 2019. This Northstar curriculum is found in the resources section of their admin site and can be accessed through your Northstar account. Here is a link to the Northstar Digital Literacy standards.
