Digital Literacy (Expanded Edition): Welcome!

Hello, Technology! (Expanded Edition) 💻

This is your very first technology book! You probably already tap, swipe, and watch on a screen. Now let’s find out what is really going on. Together we will meet computers and tablets, learn their parts, see where videos come from, make things of our own, and learn how to be safe and kind. Read it with a grown-up and have fun!

What You’ll Learn

Meet Your Devices

Tablets, computers, phones, and hidden computers — their parts, what each part does, and gentle hands.

Finding Your Way

What apps really are, buttons and back arrows, saving your work, and getting new apps the safe way.

The Internet

Where videos come from, what Wi-Fi is, looking things up, and staying safe with a grown-up’s help.

Making and Sharing

Typing, drawing, photos, recording your voice, and talking to people you know on a screen.

Being Safe and Kind

Secret passwords, private information, strangers and tricks, telling a grown-up, and being kind online.
