Digital Literacy is the ability to use technology, understand and use information in multiple formats, and perform tasks using a digital environment.
What does that mean?
- If you want to find reliable information or browse your online accounts, you will need to learn to use the Internet and specific online environments.
- If you want to use a tablet or smartphone to read books, play games, or use social media, you need to be able to understand the technology and how it works on your device.
- If you want to fill out a job application or take a test online, you need to be able to get to the right place and know how to navigate each page.
- You want to be able to use a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or other digital device for various purposes.
If you want to build your technology skills, the Longview Library has you covered. Our Digital Literacy programs begin again in September. Sign up to build your skills in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and in October, Basic Computer Skills.
You can also take advantage of one-on-one technology help every Thursday from 1:00 to 3:00pm. Bring your computer or other device and your questions and we will help you solve the issues while you build your technology skills.
