Scott's digital literacy journey

"I was so proud of myself because I sent five words to her to say how was she going, or how are you ... and now, you just do the motions on it, and you don't even know you've sent it. Yeah, thumbs up, go for it. It sounds scary, some of it still is scary for me, but go outside your comfort zone, just get into it."

Scott's story

Scott is a Crusher Operator at Duggans and tells us about his journey with digital literacy.

John's story

"My grandson showed interest in hearing about my life story. This inspired me to learn to read and write. So I went to the library and was matched with a volunteer tutor who helped me start learning."

You can be anybody when you can read a book

"To me, my students never fail. If they can't do something, it means I have to find another way to teach it."
