Experience and Inspiration of Cultivating Digital Literacy among Youth in Australia

With the development of the digital economy and society, digital literacy has become an important indicator of the quality of digital education. This has not only driven Australia's basic education towards digital transformation of education, but also promoted the country's strategic commitment to improve digital literacy among youth and implement related education policies and practices. The cultivation of digital literacy among Australian youth is driven by the demand of the digital economy for a workforce equipped with new skills, educational declarations that reinforces the goals of digital education, and an education revolution that drives the digital teaching and learning agenda. In terms of practical initiatives, Australia develops digital literacy education in the form of stand-alone courses or interdisciplinarity, invests a large amount of money to build digital teaching environments in schools, provides professional digital teaching support for teachers through various channels and initiatives and also provides various extracurricular digital literacy education activities for primary and secondary school students. Based on this, it brings some experience and inspiration for the cultivation of digital literacy for primary and secondary school students all over the world.
