Students develop digital literacy as they operate and manage digital systems, practise digital safety and wellbeing, and while investigating, creating and communicating. In particular, they use digital literacy to access information; collect, analyse and represent data and information; model and interpret concepts and relationships; and communicate science ideas, processes and information.
Digital tools such as animations and simulation software can support student understanding of abstract phenomena, as they give opportunities to view phenomena and test predictions that cannot be investigated through practical investigations in the classroom.
