Reflection on BC Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework & ISTE Standards 

My reflection is for week 4, I learned about the BC Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework and the ISTE Standards for Students, which basically highlight why digital literacy is so important in school and beyond. It’s not just about knowing how to use technology but understanding how to use it responsibly. 

What I Took Away from the BC Digital Literacy Framework: 

• It’s all about developing critical thinking, ethical responsibility, and digital communication skills. 

• It made me think more about staying safe online, like protecting my personal info and being aware of my digital footprint. 

What I Took Away from the ISTE Standards: 

• Puts a big focus on being an empowered learner, meaning I should use technology to help me grow and not just as a distraction. 

• Digital citizenship is a huge deal – basically, knowing how to be responsible and respectful online. 

• Highlights collaboration and communication, which is key since so much of life (and work) happens online now. 

My Reflection: 

• This made me realize how much I rely on technology every single day, whether for school, socializing, or entertainment. It’s everywhere, so I should probably be more aware of how I use it. 

• I need to be more careful about fact-checking information instead of just believing whatever I see online. 

• I also want to get better at using digital tools creatively, instead of just passively scrolling through content. 

Overall, this really showed me that tech is more than just a tool – it’s something that shapes the way we learn, work, and interact. The better I get at using it responsibly, the more it will help me in the long run.
