Digital Literacy Learning at Home
Looking for some digital literacy lessons that students can take at home?
Youth Teaching Adults is a free digital literacy program for adult learners, led by youth volunteer-tutors. While we are practising social distancing, the one-to-one workshop model isn’t available.

The selected lessons are designed to help learners safely use online tools to stay connected and informed.
