Literacy with ICT consists of critical and creative thinking, ethics and responsibility and ICT literacy. Literacy with ICT is the ability to find, evaluate, use and share information by thinking critically, creatively and ethically. It is also about when, why and how to use ICT in responsible ways.

Using ICT is not only the need of the time for teaching anything, but also an efficient way to make learners more independent.
