# Digital literacy

> Digital literacy includes the ability to find and use information (otherwise known as [[information literacy]]) but goes beyond this to encompass communication, collaboration and teamwork, social awareness in the digital environment, understanding of e-safety and creation of new information. Both digital and information literacy are underpinned by critical thinking and evaluation.
