Digital Literacy is the competency, and comfort in working with computers and digital technology (National Telecommunications and Information Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce; n.d.).

In this section you will find references for using computers, email, spreadsheets, imaging, search engines and other tools commonly used in the digital age.
