Digital Resilience

“The awareness, skills, agility, and confidence to be empowered users of new technologies and adapt to changing digital skill demands (Digital US, 2020) – is more important than ever for active participation in society and the economy. Yet research shows that an estimated 32 million Americans struggle to use a computer, and half of all Americans say they are not confident using technology to learn.” (EdTech Center @World Education)
