The Leader Within 2026 IBEA Fall Convention

Preparing learners to integrate technology into their everyday lives is essential. This presentation will explore the changing role of digital literacy in education, emphasizing the importance of providing all adults with access and knowledge to use technology effectively, safely, and responsibly. We’ll also discuss why digital literacy should not be treated as a separate skill but rather integrated seamlessly into classroom instruction across content areas. Participants will gain practical strategies using the BurlingtonEnglish platform to enhance digital literacy among learners, aiming to bridge the digital divide and foster greater inclusion and empowerment through improved digital skills.
