Activities on this page promote engagement and student-centered learning and support the following key messages:
- Newcomers may encounter digital technology in many different settings as they resettle into their new communities, including accessing public benefits and community-based services, searching for jobs, banking, and engaging with their Resettlement Agency.
- Basic digital skills that would benefit newcomers include setting up an email account and navigating the internet.
- Other digital skills that may be advantageous to develop include: applying for jobs online, paying bills online, scheduling appointments, and accessing school websites and language-learning resources.
- Newcomers should understand the risks of accessing digital technology and learn how to mitigate these risks, including accessing reputable online resources, identifying scams, and not sharing private information on non-secure websites.
