E36: Talent Magnet Learns About Digital Literacy 9:58

منذ 2 years9:58

9:58

Welcome to Talent Magnet, where we explore the latest trends and insights in talent development. In this episode, we're joined by Marianne Judd, Member Investment Project Coordinator, to discuss an important topic: Digital Literacy. Digital equity and literacy are more critical than ever in today's technology-driven world. So, what exactly do these terms mean? Digital equity refers to the availability of digital tools, resources, and access to technology to all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, or location. It's about ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate in the digital world. Digital literacy, on the other hand, is the ability to effectively use digital tools and technology to communicate, create, and collaborate. It's not just about knowing how to use a computer or a smartphone; it's about understanding how to navigate and make sense of the vast amount of information available online. In our conversation with Marianne Judd, she shares her insights on the importance of digital literacy and how it impacts the local community. She highlights the resources available to those who need help in improving their digital skills, including local libraries, community centers, and schools. We also discuss the role of businesses and organizations in promoting digital equity and providing access to digital tools and resources to underserved communities. Marianne Judd emphasizes the need for collaboration and partnerships between different stakeholders to address the digital divide and promote digital literacy. We're grateful to the Nisqually Indian Tribe for their support of this important work. So, if you're interested in learning more about digital equity and literacy and how you can get involved in your local community, be sure to tune in to this episode of Talent Magnet. https://thurstonchamber.com/programs/...…
