The escalation of modern technology has inevitably changed our course of life. It made things easier for us. Along with the benefits of using modern technology are the potential risks associated with it. Hence, a digitally responsible citizen is not only well-versed in manipulating any gadget and being able to interact online, but how he safely protects himself and others from the threats it may bring. As responsible users, we must maximize the benefits of it in our communication with family and work colleagues, in the teaching-learning process, business transactions, access of information, and other things. However, we must not forget that using digital technology entails great responsibility – we must be aware of whatever we post on social media because it will leave lasting footprints or what we call digital footprints. We must also possess social-emotional intelligence to be more cautious of our words and actions. In the context of ALS, our learners are active users of digital technology, thus it is important that we equip them with relevant life skills, 21st century skills and adequate knowledge on digital technology – competencies which are specifically stipulated in Learning Strand 6. Mastering the learning competencies in LS 6 is a vital part in the holistic development of our learners.
