DLiteracy.org is dedicated to helping students develop 21st century technology learning skills. By completing basic skill units set forth in this training students will meet national standards established by the International Society for Technology Education. Students will also have the opportunity to develop enhanced skills by completing advanced units. All units will culminate in the development of a web-based digital portfolio. Academic credit is available for completion of this program. For more in-depth information about the development and history of this project read the Complete Project History.


Through the Development of a Digital Portfolio Student Participants will:

1. Learn to customize digital work environments.

2. Become organized and efficient.

3. Develop efficient methods of working and learning.

4. Develop multiple ways of accessing and manipulating information.

5. Learn to communicate effectively through digital means.

6. Maintain knowledge of current communication trends.

7. Continually train to use new technology.

8. Utilize a digital portfolio as a foundation for learning.

Designers create web-based electronic portfolios representing their academic work and community involvement such as jobs, awards, scholarships, internships, community service, athletics, hobbies, music, and academics. The electronic portfolio becomes the core of the digital learning experience.

All directions are written for Windows Operating Systems and Microsoft Office. Those not having access to Windows based machines or Microsoft Office can substitute other operating systems and software accordingly.
