Digital literacy is a person's ability to find, evaluate, and clearly communicate information through various digital platforms. It is a person's ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment. It encompasses 21st century skills that are interdisciplinary in nature and related to the effective and appropriate use of digital technologies. A digitally literate person becomes a socially responsible member of the society. This paper provides an overview of digital literacy and its uses. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C.
