    Students aren't born with digital literacy skills.

    They may use computers and cell phones, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand basic uses, best practices, and safety risks. Teaching digital literacy skills ensures compliance with technology standards and helps prepare students for success in our digital world. Texas mandates that every district has a Tech Apps curriculum. Learning.com’s K-8 complete solution is 100% aligned to the required TA-TEKS, as verified by the Texas Education Agency.
