What are digital skills?

Digital skills refer to the abilities and knowledge required to use various digital technologies, such as computers, smartphones, the internet, and software applications. These skills can include basic computer and cybersecurity literacy, such as the ability to use a keyboard and mouse, as well as more advanced skills like coding, video game development, website development, apps development, data analysis, and cybersecurity. Digital skills can be used in various fields, such as business, education, healthcare, and entertainment, and are becoming increasingly important in today's technology-driven society.


Only by learning to program do girls and boys acquire the digital skills?

Learning to program is one way to acquire digital skills, but it is not the only way. There are many other ways to acquire digital skills, such as learning how to use different software, understanding how to navigate the internet, or learning how to use different digital devices.
Programming is a specific digital skill that involves writing code and creating software, but it is not the only digital skill that is important. Understanding how to use digital tools and technology is becoming increasingly important in today's society, and there are many ways to acquire these skills other than learning to program. For example, digital literacy classes, workshops, online tutorials or self-study can also provide digital skills.
It is important to note that digital skills are not only important for computer science or technology-related fields, but also for many other areas such as education, healthcare, finance, business, and more. Therefore, providing girls and boys with the opportunity to learn about digital skills, regardless of the way, is important for their future success.


Is it important that children and youths acquire digital skills?

Yes, it is important that children and youths acquire digital skills.
In today's society, digital technology is an integral part of daily life and is becoming increasingly important in various fields, such as education, healthcare, finance, and business. Having digital skills can open up a wide range of job opportunities and can help individuals to be more productive and efficient in their daily lives.
Moreover, digital skills can help children and youths to be better prepared for the future, as the use of technology continues to advance and become more prevalent in society. It can also empower them to understand and control technology, rather than being controlled by it.
Acquiring digital skills can also have a positive impact on children and youths' personal and professional development, allowing them to be more creative, innovative and to have a greater ability to solve problems.
In addition, digital skills can also provide children and youths with the opportunity to participate in the digital economy, create their own digital products and services, and even start their own businesses.
Therefore, providing children and youths with the opportunity to learn about digital skills is important for their future success and their ability to fully participate in today's digital world.


Is my children's school teaching digital skills?

Here are a few ways to determine if your school is developing your digital skills correctly: 1. Check the curriculum or Study Plan: Look at the courses offered by the school and see if they include digital skills such as digital literacy, cybersecurity literacy, digital balance website development, game development, how computers, internet, data, artificial intelligence work. Also check if the school is using updated technology, resources, and teaching methods.
2. Ask teachers: Talk to your teachers and ask them about their qualifications and experience in teaching digital skills. Get their opinion on how well the school is preparing you for the digital world.
3. Look at the school's resources: Check if the school has access to the latest technology and software, and if the school provides students with access to online resources and tutorials.
4. Check for extracurricular activities: See if the school offers any extracurricular activities or clubs that focus on digital skills, such as coding and/or computer science. Robotics is good but is not enough.
5. Check the results: Look at the school's track record of student success in digital skills, and check if the students who have completed the digital skills program have been successful in their future studies or careers.
6. Ask for feedback: Ask for feedback from other students who have completed the program or from graduates of the school.
By following these tips, you can get a better idea of how well your school is developing your digital skills and if they are preparing you for the digital world.


When can children start coding?

Children can start learning coding at a young age, as early as age 5 or 6. There are a variety of resources available for children to learn programming, such as educational programming languages, games, and visual environments that make it easy for children to start coding. Only be careful with the time of exposure to screen.
It's important to remember that children of different ages will have different learning needs, so the level of complexity and the type of programming language used will vary depending on the child's age and level of understanding.
For young children, it can be a good idea to start with visual programming languages, such as Scratch or Blockly, which allow children to create programs by dragging and dropping blocks of code. These environments make it easy for children to see the results of their code and to understand the basic concepts of programming.
As children get older and have a better understanding of programming concepts, they can move on to more complex programming languages such as Python or JavaScript.
Overall, the most important thing is to provide children with a fun, engaging and age-appropriate learning experience. With a special attention in early age 5 to 9 when we suggest the supervision of specialists in pedagogy and/or developmental psychology. Knowing to code is not synonymous with knowing how to teach digital skills.
It's also important to note that programming is not just about writing code, it's also about logic, problem-solving and critical thinking, so even if children are not yet ready to write code, they can still start developing these skills through various activities or games. This is the reason because in HiCode Education, we teach programming more than coding.

Are face-to-face classes better than virtual classes?

Whether face-to-face classes or virtual classes are better depends on the context, the student's needs and the quality of the instruction. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
face-to-face classes offer the advantage of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and students, which can facilitate communication and engagement. Additionally, face-to-face classes can provide a more structured learning environment, and students have access to resources such as labs, equipment, and libraries.
On the other hand, virtual classes offer flexibility and convenience, as students can access the classes from anywhere. It also allows for a larger pool of students to attend and can provide a more diverse set of educational opportunities. In some cases virtual classes allow students in developing countries access to high quality teachers. Virtual classes can also save on transportation costs and provide more efficient use of time.
It's also important to note that the quality of the instruction, resources, and support provided, both in face-to-face and virtual classes, is crucial for students' learning. It's important to ensure that the teaching material and methods are adapted to the students' age and level and that the teachers are well-prepared and have the necessary competences.
