Digital Literacy Test

Assignments for the week of January 6, 2013

The first certification we pursue will be Digital Literacy.

Welcome to the Microsoft Digital Literacy Curriculum. The goal of Digital Literacy is to teach and assess the basic concepts and skills needed to use a computer. Computer technology can help you in your everyday life to develop new social and economic opportunities for yourself, your family and your community.

Whether you are entirely new to computing or have some experience, this curriculum will help you understand computers better. From using the Internet, to sending e-mail, to creating a CV, the Digital Literacy Curriculum helps you develop the essential skills you need to begin computing with confidence.
