At our core we believe in these six points for teaching technical literacy for today and tomorrow's world:
Aim to structure a fun and challenging environment. Students should be able to enjoy the overall material even while facing the challenges of the work.
A cursory understanding of computer navigation for both software and file/folder structure is an essential foundation for good technical learning.
Developing a technical vocabulary can help a student apply computer navigation skills to a variety of different programs even if they have never opened that program before.
A strong foundation in technical literacy, when applied to problem-solving in a digital environment, can help sharpen a student’s logic and reasoning skills and strengthen their critical thinking.
Applying technical literacy and critical thinking in a digitally creative environment will help solidify the knowledge for use throughout the student’s life.
Learning new technologies becomes easier and more fun when you have a solid foundation to build on.
