Digital literacies refer to the capabilities needed to live, learn, and work in a digital society. They include skills like using digital tools for academic research, writing, and critical thinking. Developing digital literacies is important for employability as many jobs now require basic computer skills. An effective model for learning digital skills is the "Pirate Model" which involves assessing one's skills, analyzing gaps, acquiring new skills, articulating skills to others, and reflecting on the learning process. Continuous improvement of digital literacies is important due to rapid technological changes and innovations.
