A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING DIGITAL LITERACY THROUGH NETIQUETTE AND EDTECH

This paper introduces a conceptual framework for enhancing digital literacy by integrating netiquette and educational technology (EdTech). In today’s digital age, the ability to navigate online environments responsibly and effectively has become a critical skill. The suggested paradigm emphasizes the significance of netiquette-rules for moral and civil conduct online-as a fundamental component of digital literacy. It also looks at how EdTech technologies may be used to create dynamic and captivating learning environments that further these ideas. The framework offers an organized method for enhancing digital literacy in a variety of educational and professional contexts by fusing the technological prowess of EdTech with the behavioural components of netiquette. The conversation focuses on how these components might enable people to collaborate, communicate online in an appropriate manner, and adjust to the ever-changing digital environment. The goal of this study is to give technologists, educators, and legislators practical advice on how to foster digital competency and ethical digital citizenship. The frameworks help to increase awareness of digital literacy as a crucial ability in a technologically advanced environment.
