DIGITAL LITERACY - Coggle Diagram

- - - - How is the right of access to information exercised?
        You can submit a request for information through the following channels: ... By email, postal mail, courier, telegraph, verbally or any means approved by the National System, addressed to the Transparency Unit of the obliged subject whose information you request .
        
        What is digital literacy?
        Digital literacy is the ability of a person to perform different tasks in a digital environment.
        This generic definition encompasses many nuances since it would include the ability to locate, investigate and analyze information using technology, as well as being able to elaborate content and design proposals through digital media.
        Digital literacy should be understood not only as a medium but also as a new form of communication and the creation and understanding of information.
        
        Digital literacy has several levels that go from the most basic - elementary skills such as knowing how to publish on Instagram - going to an intermediate one - in which we use technology to improve our lives or be more efficient, such as learning to program on Facebook - and one superior of own digital content creation.
        The great challenge is to move from an exclusive Information Society to a Communication Society in which everyone has the same opportunities to access new technologies.
        
        Benefits and risks of not being digitally literate,
        Digital literacy must go beyond learning tools and programs. Its benefits include:
        
        Critical thinking: if we can access more information and contrast it, we will have more critical citizens and, therefore, more guarantees of a free society.
        
        Improvements in daily use: new technologies can be integrated into our day-to-day -both on a personal and professional level- improving our quality of life. Contrary to what some people believe, its usefulness is not limited to leisure and consumption, but can enrich our daily lives in many other aspects.
        
        Access to better jobs: ICT knowledge is a plus to access better paid jobs.
        
        Digital divide: digital literacy also plays an important role in social inclusion and development. Lacking access to technology creates new differences in the educational, social, economic and cultural spheres. This gap occurs globally between countries, but also within the same society.
        
        Digital literacy at school,
        Digital literacy poses a new way of teaching and learning where the repetition of concepts and the teacher as the protagonist cease to make sense. ICTs go hand in hand with creativity, innovation and the active participation of students.
        Among the advantages of ICTs, note:
        • - They allow transversal learning of subjects.
        • - They promote self-employment (having to search for information by themselves).
        • - They arouse curiosity.
        • - They are closer to the reality of children who are digital natives and, therefore, are already familiar with technology.
        
        The introduction of ICTs in the school curriculum should not only translate into the teaching of computer tools and programs, but also in e-learning (electronic learning), a system that eliminates all geographical barriers, allows access to unlimited information and collaboration with other centers (even if they are hundreds of kilometers away).
        Beyond knowing how to program or knowing the ins and outs of the Internet, ICTs should also include audiovisual or media education subjects.
- - - - The information processing, in short, allows incorporating knowledge to the data that is already stored in memory. In the process, meaning is added to new information by establishing relationships with other stored content, material is organized, and contexts are developed. All these actions make learning possible.
        
        What is information processing?
        The idea of information processing is used to refer to a theory developed in the field of psychology by the cognitivist current.
        It is a way of analyzing the functioning of the human mind from an analogy with the work done by computers (computers).
        
        What are the applications of digital processing?
        
        Machine learning.
        
        Sound processing and voice recognition.
        
        Autonomous driving.
        
        "Wearable" technology.
        
        Advanced signal processing for communications.
        
        Multimedia systems and communications.
