Learning Modules
Our learning modules are designed to empower people with the knowledge to think critically about their digital behavior. The Digital Tayo program is designed to be delivered as either a full curriculum or as standalone lessons in both high-tech or low-tech environments. The lessons are fully scripted and provide guidance about how you can prepare for and deliver these lessons in formal and informal settings. They are also open-ended enough that you can modify them to fit the needs of your learners.
