DES conducts District In-Service Training-Workshop on Digital Literacy

Dumayat, Binalonan- The Digital Literacy Training-Workshop was conducted in Dumayat Elementary School last January 11, 18-19, 2020 that aimed for digitization of classroom instructions, learning and instructional materials for the 21^st century learners. The participants of this training-workshop are teachers of Binalonan District I. It was organized by Mr. Ricardo S. Tambogon, HT-III of the said school with the guidance and support of all school heads of Binalonan I and Dr. Ana Jean B. Asuncion, the district supervisor.

The participants do the hands-on activity.

This training also prepares and trains teachers on the different applications and software that can be use in producing different digital learning materials and enhance their skills in ICT as part of the 21^st century skills. 21st Century Skills are so much more than being digitally literate. While learning to use technology is an extremely important skill for the 21st Century, we must look beyond how to use the tools to how you think, how to access information, ways of working in a globally collaborative world, and skills for living in a 21st Century world.

Moreover, digital literacy also creates new ways to teach and learn within the classroom. Students are discovering new ways to interact with their interests online and through other digital media. They are no longer confined to just physical text when it comes to reading or learning more about their possible interests.

This three-day training is very timely because what teachers really need is innovative approaches on how to transfer skills and knowledge easier in the 21^st century where learners are digitally aware and knowledgeable. Using their acquired or enhanced skills in ICT, teachers are now ready to face the challenges of the digital society and digital classrooms.
