How confident are you that you can work effectively, and safely,
online?
·
When you search for information, are you confident that you will be
able to find the right information quickly?
·
Do you know how to tell if the information you find is relevant, and
from a good source?
·
Do you know how to make the best of online networking tools like
Facebook and Twitter?
·
Are you happy with the way you present yourself online, and do you know
how to manage your 'digital identity'?
The
skills you need for all of these situations are known as 'digital literacy'.
These are skills that are not only useful in your personal life, but can be
invaluable at work. In a digital age, they are all essential to employability.
Research
around digital literacy is concerned with wider aspects associated with
learning how to effectively find, use, summarise, evaluate, create, and
communicate information while using digital technologies, not just being
literate at using a computer.
This
checklist will help you to gauge your level of confidence in a range of digital
literacy skills.
Identify
the skills for which you have indicated that you are 'quite confident' or 'not
confident'.
