Each different area within the resource provides learners with information and tests their understanding through a game. It is not intended to be a complete digital literacy course, but focuses on the knowledge and skills related to accessing, understanding and evaluating digital information. Learners enter the resource by selecting an activity such as chatting to friends, shopping or doing homework. They are then encouraged to question their knowledge, understanding and behaviours through the use of a magazine style quiz that provides them with feedback on their internet 'personality'. Learners then select areas for further investigation. Each area provides them with information and then allows the learner to test and practice their understanding through a game. Some sample lesson plans are available, demonstrating how this resource may be used to support digital literacy. Additionally, teachers can access the curriculum map below, which shows how the resource meets NC key concepts and processes throughout the KS3 curriculum, as well as how it meets some of the Personal, Learning and Thinking skills objectives.
