Technology  Access  

Technical  Awareness  

Technical  awareness  is  the  core  awareness  that  enables  a  person  to  be  a  digital  ciGzen.  It  lets  you  put  on  your  “shoes”  and  run  into  the  21st  century.

Individual  Awareness  

It  comes  down  to  how  you  want  to  behave  online,  and  if  you  will  go  online.  Healthy  lifestyle  choices,  balance  and  a  person’s  individual  goals.

Social  Awareness  

The  digital  ciGzen  is  able  to  interpret  situaGons  and  retain  interpersonal  skills  with  friends  and  colleagues  whether  they  are  face-­‐to-­‐face  or  online.

Global  Awareness
