Promoting literacy in the digital era

As technology transforms learning, media and entertainment, we can no longer rely solely on traditional literacy skills to support young people in navigating their worlds.

Teaching inclusive, meaningful and relevant digital literacy skills has become vital in every Australian classroom, combining reading, writing, speaking and listening with critical thinking skills that help students identify credible information, stay safe online and navigate AI ethically.

Our comprehensive International Literacy Day 2025 teaching resources are here to help you do just that.
