Literacy is more important than ever. While most people define literacy as the ability to read and write. In today’s world, the definition has expanded to include digital skills, financial knowledge, and the ability to understand, organize, manage, and act on information that we use in everyday life.
As technology continues to evolve, digital literacy is no longer limited to basic computer skills. Today, it also includes understanding how to interact with artificial intelligence tools, evaluate online information, and adapt to rapidly changing digital environments. For adult learners, this shift can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
Technology has reshaped how nonprofits deliver education and support. Virtual classrooms and digital tools have opened doors that once seemed locked, yet each new tool brings new challenges. For adult learners, educators, and nonprofit administrators, technology can be both an enabler and a barrier.
Each year, the topic of children’s summer regression pops up in the news, but we often don’t associate it with adult learners, though the effect of starting and stopping learning is just as detrimental. For many adult learners, continuing studies over the summer is not a possibility, but for the adult learners participating in three of First Literacy’s grant funded programs, summer was a time to get ahead.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant concept, it’s reshaping how we live, work, and learn. From job applications and healthcare portals to everyday communication and education, AI tools are becoming part of daily life.
The topic of AI has grown immensely in the past few years. In a world increasingly driven by technological advancements, AI has become not only a trending topic, but a look into the future.
