11. "Digital literacy or the ability to understand and fully participate in
the digital world is fundamental to digital citizenship. It is the
combination of technical and social skills that enable a person to
be successful and safe in the information age. Like literacy and
numeracy initiatives which provide people with the skills to
participate in the workforce, digital literacy has become an
essential skill to be a confident, connected, and actively involved
lifelong learner."
(Netsafe)
