We are living in a digital age and need to prepare the children for their futures where, whether we like it or not, everyone is going to need to have high levels of digital proficiency. It is essential that we as teachers develop our digital literacy skills and become familiar with the various digital tools so that we can give the children the opportunity to develop their skills from a young age. A lot of teachers feel uncomfortable with or are daunted by the myriad of digital tools which are available and are reluctant to bring them into the classroom. They are nervous about engaging with something which they are not experts in. We need to move from the role of sage on the stage and become facilitators allowing the children to learn through engaging with digital tools and perhaps we can also learn along with them. The scope for learning using digital tools is endless. We can create engaging learning experiences for the children, allowing them to learn things in a new and exciting way keeping them motivated. I hope that through developing my use of digital technology I can inspire others to do the same as if I can do it they certainly can too!
