Ways to be digitally literate include keeping up with new technology, knowing terms when using technology and also being able to fix simple things like a computer crash or deleting of important files. If you don't know how to do these things to have the knowledge of going online and figuring out how to fix the problem.

Design Brief:To solve this problem, we are going to create a Microsoft PowerPoint. I decided to make a PowerPoint because my group and I were trying to show Digital Literacy in all grades, one at a time. My group and I decided that a PowerPoint would be the best way to show different grades one at a time. After we decided what we were going to do, I decided to do a bit of reading and reviewing documents on the web. We have done a lot of research so far, but I plan to do more, more specifically; for grades 10, 11 and12.I am also going to use the photo from our Google docs as the opening picture on the first page because it says “I want YOU for digital literacy!”, and I feel it sums up what we are trying to communicate to the public in this PowerPoint.
