Digital Communication
What Is Digital Communication?
Digital communication means sending messages using electronic devices.
You can type, record, or share information through computers, tablets, or phones.
It lets people talk instantly, even when they are far apart.
Common Tools
- Text Messages – Short, typed notes sent from phone to phone.
- Emails – Longer messages that can include attachments like photos or documents.
- Social Media – Platforms where you post updates, pictures, and comment on friends’ posts.
- Video Calls – Real‑time video chats that let you see the person you’re talking to.
Each tool works a little differently, but they all rely on the internet or a mobile network.
Being Safe and Polite Online
- Think Before You Post – Once something is online, it can stay there forever.
- Protect Your Personal Info – Don’t share your address, school name, or passwords with strangers.
- Use Strong Passwords – Combine letters, numbers, and symbols, and change them regularly.
- Be Respectful – Treat others the way you want to be treated. Harsh words can hurt just as much online as in person.
- Report Problems – If you see bullying or suspicious activity, tell a trusted adult or use the platform’s report feature.
Remember, digital communication is a powerful tool. Using it wisely helps you stay connected, learn new things, and have fun safely.
