Teaching digital literacy involves helping students develop the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to effectively use digital technologies to communicate, collaborate, create, and solve problems. Teaching digital literacy involves modeling responsible behavior (teacher Twitter and Instagram pages), integrating digital tools and technologies (using tech to assess learning outcomes), teaching digital skills (how to search, determine validity, point of view and bias), encouraging critical thinking (provide them with sources and have them determine media bias and reliability), providing opportunities for reflection, and collaborating with colleagues. However, it also raises concerns about job displacement, social inequality, and privacy and security issues. As with previous industrial revolutions, the fourth will require significant changes to education. The fourth industrial revolution is having a significant impact on teaching and learning. First more immersive and interactive learning environments now exist. Virtual and augmented reality technologies can transport students to different places and times and provide hands-on learning experiences.In addition, kids are exposed to more immersive and interactive environments (ThinkTech; robotics and 3D printing etc...)
