If it’s on the web, then it must be true!

One of the elements of digital citizenship is “Digital Literacy”.

Digital Literacy is the knowledge and skills required to differentiate between real and fake contents and how to manage the information on the web.

Not every information on the internet is real and fake on the same time.

More so, not all websites or URL is worth visiting.

Teachers and students need to learn how to use their time on the web judiciously on the web and also how to get the right content.

Digital literacy helps to know what content to avoid in order to live a balanced life void of inappropriate behaviours and actions.
