# What digital skills means

The five areas of DigComp 2.2 drawn once, so the reader can see which one they are worried about.

7 screens, about three minutes. Pictures, almost no words.

## Two words, nine meanings.

*Picture: One large box with the words digital skills inside it.*

Everyone uses them. Nobody says which bit.

## Somebody wrote the list down.

*Picture: A tall dashed cupboard labelled digital skills, holding five stacked shelves, each named.*

The European Commission named five areas.

## Twenty-one things in all.

*Picture: The same cupboard with small squares on each shelf: three, six, four, four and four.*

You already do some of them every day.

## Nobody is steady on all five.

*Picture: The same cupboard with the second shelf drawn in green.*

Most people are fine on two and quiet about the rest.

## Start on the quiet one.

*Picture: The same cupboard with the fifth shelf in amber and an arrow pointing at it.*

Not the one you are best at.

## Do today

Say out loud which of the five you would rather not be asked about.
